• Resumen

  • There are numerous indications that the Master of Saint Cecilia can be identified as 'Gaddo Gaddi', the founder of the most important Florentine painting workshop of the fourteenth century. The painter's oeuvre is here expanded by two significant works: an illuminated antiphonary for a community of Dominican nuns, perhaps those of San Jacopo di Ripoli, or of San Domenico del Maglio in Florence, and a "Virgin and Child" forming the central panel of a polyptych, of which two other elements have been identified in the Diocesan Museum, Livorno. This last proposal provides the starting point for a reflection on the earliest representations of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. Basing herself on a study of the hagiographic sources relating to the Augustinian saint, the author proposes the provenance of the partially recomposed polyptych from the church of Santo Spirito in Florence.
