Madonna and Child
The attribution of this damaged but compelling picture—a work of unusual expressive intensity—has puzzled scholars. It may be by a Paduan follower of Giotto and was perhaps painted about 1310–15—not long after Giotto completed his celebrated fresco cycle in the Arena Chapel, Padua. The painter has tentatively been associated with a cycle of frescoes in the chapter house of the great abbey of Pomposa, near Ferrara. The panel has been cut on all sides.
