Madonna in Gloria Saints Francis and Chiara


In this work of 1370, the glorified Virgin Mary appears as the central figure, with the Child in her arms. On the sides, and with sweet contemplative looks, on the left side of the Virgin is St. Francis and on the right, St. Clare. The Italian author, Gentile da Fabriano, used the tempera technique, where the images painted on wood, are beautifully enhanced, surrounding them with gold sheets. On the heads of the saints, in Gothic style writing, the names of both saints are read. (1370) Tempera.
