The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese 6, attributed to Pacino di Bonaguida, is a significant artifact of early 14th-century Italian religious and artistic culture. Pacino di Bonaguida, active in Florence from about 1303 to 1347, is recognized as one of the pioneering figures in the transition from medieval manuscript illumination to the early Renaissance painting style. The Laudario, or laudary, is a collection of lauds, which are religious songs or hymns of praise, particularly focused on the Virgin Mary, saints, and other spiritual themes relevant to the Christian faith. These lauds were used by lay religious confraternities for devotion and celebration, reflecting the vibrant communal religious life of the period.

The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, specifically manuscript 6, is part of a larger corpus of illuminated manuscripts produced for the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, a lay confraternity dedicated to Saint Agnes, which was based in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. This confraternity was one of many in medieval Florence that played a crucial role in the city's religious and social life, providing a bridge between the laity and the formal church structure.

Pacino di Bonaguida's work on this laudario is particularly notable for its vibrant illustrations and the use of gold leaf, which exemplify the luxurious and devotional aspects of religious manuscripts of the time. The illustrations not only serve a decorative purpose but also function as a visual exegesis of the text, providing insights into the theological and liturgical context of the lauds. The manuscript is a testament to the interplay between art, music, and piety in medieval Florence, offering valuable perspectives on the religious practices and artistic achievements of the era.

The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese 6 is considered an important piece in the study of early Italian painting and manuscript illumination, marking a period of significant transition and innovation. It highlights Pacino di Bonaguida's role as a key figure in the development of Florentine art, bridging the gap between the Byzantine influences of the Middle Ages and the emerging humanistic and naturalistic trends that would define the Renaissance. The manuscript remains a crucial primary source for understanding the religious, social, and artistic dynamics of 14th-century Florence.
