Resumen de Un Pier Dandini ritrovato: la pala del monastero di San Giorgio a Lucca
Pietro Dandini painted two altarpieces for the Dominican convent of San Giorgio in Lucca. While the first remains untraced, the second -an unpublished canvas of "The Virgin of the Rosary with Saints Dominic and Catherine of Siena"- has been identified in the Dominican convent of Santa Maria del Sasso in Bibbiena, which it reached after tortuous journeys that began with the suppression of religious establishments in Tuscany. The artist was paid 60 scudi for hte work, which was made for the altar of San Giorgio, where it was placed on 20 August 1700.
The painting appears to be one of best made during the artist's mature period, and can be added to other masterpieces of his in the Casentino.
