The Virgin Mary from an Altarpiece Fragment (Bologna Pinacoteca Circle / Trecento Painting)

2419

Created during the Trecento (14th century), specifically dating to the mid-to-late 14th century (circa 1350–1390), representing the Emilian-Bolognese school of painting.

This object is a cropped fragment from a larger, dismantled altarpiece or polyptych panel. It is executed in tempera and gold leaf on a wooden support, capturing a close-up, tender profile of the Virgin Mary's face and shoulders, complete with her draped maphorion and halo.
