Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels and Flanked by Saint Bridget of Sweden and the Archangel Michael

This tempera on panel triptych by the Master of Pratovecchio presents a hierarchical composition centered on the enthroned Madonna and Child, surrounded by attending angels in the central panel. The flanking wings feature Saint Bridget of Sweden on the left and the Archangel Michael on the right, typical of the devotional format popular in late medieval Italian religious art. The work exemplifies the International Gothic style with its refined gold background, delicate figural proportions, and intricate decorative details characteristic of Florentine panel painting from the fourteenth century.
