Saint Dominic

We are grateful to Professor Miklòs Boskovits for suggesting that the present painting is close to the Master of the Ashmolean Predella. The artist, who worked in both the Orcagna and the Jacopo di Cione workshops before setting up on his own, was named after a predella panel of the Birth of the Virgin, in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (see C. Lloyd, A catalogue of the Earlier Italian Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1977, pp. 137-9, pl. 96.).
