St Anthony the Abbot
by VALDAMBRINO, Francesco di, Polychrome wood
In the third phase of his artistic career, from about 1420 to his death, Francesco di Valdambrino produced two works dated 1425, which are the reference points for the attributions of other works. They are the St Antony the Abbot, coming from the Sienese church of San Antonio in Fontebranda, now in San Domenico in Siena, and St Peter Enthroned, formerly in San Pietro in Montalcino, now in the Museo Civico e Diocesano d’Arte Sacra in Montalcino.
