Two Evangelists

Gherardo Starnina, c. 1407

Starnina was a widely travelled artist who developed an elegant and highly coloured style in Spain. After he returned to Florence in 1403, his work exerted a profound influence on the artistic development of Lorenzo Monaco and other Florentine painters. These two panels, which are in excellent condition, probably served as wings of a large altarpiece.
