- Title:
- Carnesecchi Tabernacle
- Object name(s):
- Picture; Italian
- Brief description:
- These three fragments painted in fresco (painting directly onto wet plaster) come from the outside of a house in Florence. They were removed in the mid-nineteenth century. They were part of a street tabernacle, a large outdoor altarpiece, painted high on a wall. It included a pair of full-length standing saints -- only the heads remain -- that would have surrounded the central image of the Virgin and Child enthroned.This painting was on a house built by a member of the Carnesecchi family, who owned several properties in the area; the street was called the Canto de' Carnesecchi. This was a very visible spot on the route of religious processions in the city.
