Abstract

The fact that Gentile da Fabriano, who is one of the outstanding figures of Gothic painting of the beginning of the 15th century in Italy, was a native of The Marches, where besides he was active for a certain length of time, explains why so many adherents of this movement were strongly influenced by him. Nevertheless in this province there were two painters, the brothers Lorenzo the First and Jacopo Salimbeni of Sanseverino who represented the cosmopolitan Gothic current of the beginning of the 15th century in The Marches and who did not show a more direct connexion with Gentile’s manner than can be accounted for by the fact that both they and Gentile belonged to the same artistic movement. As will be seen later on, the Salimbeni brothers show a more marked northern element in their art.

  2. Gnoli, op. cit., informs us that in the inscription some letters follow the date 1400, so that it might be that the panel was executed a few years after 3400 and consequently Lorenzo was born after 1374. In any case it is a production of an early stage in his career and the difference cannot be very great.
