Workshop Of The Zavattari Family | Saint John The Evangelist; Saint Andrew

A pair of elegant tempera-on-panel paintings set against luminous gold grounds, these arched devotional works depict Saint John the Evangelist and Saint Andrew in the refined, courtly style characteristic of the Zavattari workshop. Each figure is rendered with meticulous attention to drapery and gilded detail, reflecting the sophisticated Late Gothic sensibility for which this Milanese family of painters was celebrated. The arched format and rich gold ground lend the pair a hieratic grandeur, situating them within the long tradition of Italian sacred panel painting.

Medium
a pair, both tempera on panel, gold ground, with an arched top
