Painting Description
The ''Quaratesi Altarpiece: Pilgrims at the Tomb of St Nicholas of Bari'' is a notable work by the Italian painter Gentile da Fabriano, created in 1425. This piece is part of a larger polyptych commissioned by the wealthy Florentine banker Palla Strozzi for the family's chapel in the church of San Niccolò Oltrarno in Florence. The altarpiece is celebrated for its rich detail, use of color, and incorporation of gold leaf, which are characteristic of the International Gothic style that flourished in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages.
The panel specifically depicts a scene from the life of St Nicholas, where pilgrims are visiting his tomb in Bari. This narrative was particularly relevant to the Quaratesi family, for whom the altarpiece was named, as they claimed lineage from the region of Bari. Gentile da Fabriano's work is renowned for its elegance and the intricate attention to detail, which is evident in the ornate garments of the figures and the realistic portrayal of the architectural elements.
The ''Quaratesi Altarpiece'' is divided into several panels, each illustrating different episodes from the life of St Nicholas. The ''Pilgrims at the Tomb of St Nicholas of Bari'' is one of these panels and showcases Gentile da Fabriano's skill in creating a sense of depth and perspective, a technique that was still relatively new at the time. The altarpiece as a whole is considered a masterpiece of early 15th-century Italian art and marks a transition from medieval to Renaissance art, blending the decorative qualities of the former with the emerging naturalistic approach of the latter.
Today, the ''Quaratesi Altarpiece'' and its constituent panels are dispersed across various art institutions, with the ''Pilgrims at the Tomb of St Nicholas of Bari'' being held in a prominent museum or gallery. The work remains an important example of Gentile da Fabriano's oeuvre and is frequently studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of early Renaissance art.
