Specialist note

Little is known of Bernardino Fungai's artistic development and his body of work has been pieced together on the basis of his signed and dated altarpiece in the chiesa di San Niccolò, Siena. His retardataire style looks back at the works of Sassetta and Giovanni di Paolo while incorporating the influence of his contemporaries, Perugino, Pinturicchio and Signorelli.

We are grateful to Prof. Mauro Minardi for proposing the attribution on the basis of photographs.
