In a room filled with bits and pieces in terms of panels removed from altar pieces, these two triptychs strike us in that they are in one piece. They are a nice indication of the many objects of art manufactured in 15th century Florence. This was often done in family workshops. In this room we can admire the work of one of such families. The tryptich on the left was made by Bicci di Lorenzo, the one on the right by his son Neri di Bicci. 15th Century Florence was a hotbed for religious art, but not all of this was made for the clergy and for churches only. Ordinary folk too liked to possess a religious painting for domestic devotion. Notaries, trades people, chemists, even hairdressers – they all came to the workshop of Bicci and his son Neri to order paintings. We know this, because the cash books of their workshop have survived. Judging from their modest sizes, the two triptychs may well have been intended for domestic use. Madonna with the infant Jesus was a well-loved subject in such paintings.
