Description : Trittico con Madonna con Bambino e Angeli

Panel paintings. Three painted wooden panels are placed in a carved and gilded wooden frame. The triptych is part of the large production of the late 1800s which resumed and re-proposed the medieval style, seen as a representation of purity and innocence, and therefore re-proposed as a model to imitate. Furthermore, it was only in the 19th century that restoration began to think in a historical perspective, trying to reintegrate the missing parts of the ancient works according to the style that it was believed could be the original one. The triptych presented here dates back to the end of the 14th-beginning of the 15th century: at the top center, the carving of the frame reproduces the Florentine coat of arms of the Medici family, corresponding in number of bezants (or balls) to the reign of Cosimo the Elder (1389 - 1464). In the three panels are depicted: in the center the Madonna with Child, similar in pictorial ways to the production of Sassetta (1392 -1450); on the sides two musician angels, one who sings with the text of the song in his hand, the other who accompanies him with the lute. The plates and the frame have small losses and falls of the colour.
