Specialist note

Formerly attributed by Federico Zeri to Maestro di Signa (in a letter dated 27 November 1971), this master was more recently identified as Antonio di Maso, a pupil of the celebrated Florentine painter Bicci di Lorenzo (see C. Frosinini, 'Alcune proposte e riconsiderazioni sul Maestro di Signa', Il Maestro di Signa, Florence, 1995, pp. 18-26).
