Extract

A An unknown work by Antonio del Pollaiuolo for the Monastery of S. Gaggio near Florence

On the back of a simple reliquary crucifix of c. 1500, which comes from the Augustinian monastery of S. Gaggio near Florence and is now preserved in the Museo Nazionale in Florence, there are six obviously somewhat older translucent silver enamel plaques. Their quality is striking when compared to the simple craftlike work of the crucifix itself. The senseless iconographic arrangement of Mary and John at either side of St. Gaggio also attests to the fact that these smalti are not in their original setting.
