Saint Lucy; and Saint Bernardino of Siena

While both these panels were known to Bernard Berenson, the art historian does not appear to have connected the two, as their photographs were catagorized separately in his archive. On the reverse of Berenson's image of Saint Bernardino, his handwritten notes indicate he thought it to be by an artist close to the Sienese painters, Pellegrino di Mariano or Giovanni d'Ambrogio (Hollis image no. 8086330). Saint Lucy, meanwhile, he noted was 'near, but not by, Fra Filippo Lippi' (Hollis image no. 8097156). Federico Zeri appears only to have been aware of the Saint Bernardino panel was also unable to suggest an attribution, observing that it was by an anonymous Paduan hand, influenced by Francesco Squarcione (Zeri Fototeca nos. 28080).
