Circle of Lippo di Benivieni (active Florence 1296-1320)

Offner commented that the type was 'founded upon the conventions of the generation preceeding' that of Pacino di Bonaguida to whom he attributed the panel: allowing for its condition, Boskovits's view of its proximity to the work of Lippo is more plausible. Keith Christiansen observes that the design may depend on a prototype by Cimabue or an artist in his entourage. The panel formerly had a damaged companion of Saint Peter: both were formerly on the backs of the lateral panels of a triptych by Pacino (Boskovits, op. cit., III, VI, pl. XLI).
