Abstract
Among the works of art formerly in the Venetian island church of San Cristoforo della Pace and dispersed after the Napoleonic suppressions were two altarpieces subsequently acquired for Berlin: a triptych by Bellini (destroyed in 1945); and a unified pala by Alvise Vivarini. The present article seeks to identify the patrons of both works on the basis of unpublished documents. It also investigates other aspects of the commissions: the likely dates of the two altarpieces, their iconography, and their placing in the church.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
