    "description": "The workshop of Agnolo Gaddi produced this panel painting with two saints, which originally occupied the right side of a large polyptych (a painting group made up of several panels). Agnolo Gaddi combined the bold, monumental style of murals with the delicate, linear technique of panel painting. The overlapping forms of the saints' bodies and their union in a single panel are innovations that painters used to create a sense of depth and three-dimensional volume toward the end of the fourteenth century. Agnolo Gaddi (d. 1369) traced his artistic ancestry back to Giotto through his father Taddeo (d. 1366).",
