Saints and prophets

The two paintings were originally the lateral panels of the cusped tabernacle that enshrined the wooden statue of Saint Lucy. In 1914, the reliquary was relocated to the Church of the Santissima Annunziata in Rocca di Cambio (L’Aquila), where the sculpture remains to this day, until the 1915 earthquake caused the partial collapse of the parish church. The panels, dispersed through the antiquarian market, were acquired in 2020 by a private Florentine collection. In the upper section of the panels, two prophets are depicted; in the central register, a bishop saint and Saint Paul; in the lower register, two martyrs, likely Saint Lawrence and Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
