Carità, b. 56, perg. 4245.
26 Paoletti 1895, p. 8; De Marchi 1997, p. 23 note 83.
27 De Marchi 1997, pp. 22-23 note 83. For the
reconstruction of Guglielmo Veneziano’s oeuvre,
see Boskovits 1973, pp. 22-23; and Guarnieri,
forthcoming.
28 De Marchi 1997, pp. 13, 23-24 notes 84-86, fig.
51. The fragment (86.5 x 43 cm) had also been
attributed to Jacobello and discussed by Testi 1909,
pp. 403-404; Berenson 1958, I, p. 94; Chiappini di
Sorio 1968, p. 18; Chiappini di Sorio 1989, fig. 13;
Lucco 1989, pp. 28, 347; and Merkel 1988, p. 560.
29 Corner 1758, p. 329. The inscription transcribed
by Corner (its subsequent publications listed by De
Marchi in Ritorno… cit., 1997, p. 23 note 85) is
also cited in Piacenza 1768, p. 458, and in Oretti,
1983 ed., p. 227.
30 De Marchi 1997, p. 13.
31 Testi 1909, pp. 403-404, also read a fragmentary date
‘MCCCCXX’, which serves to further establish a late
dating for this picture. I believe that the transcription
given by Corner with such precision absolves us from
another albeit plausible hypothesis, namely that the
signature was that of another member of the ‘del
Fiore’ workshop, distinct from either Francesco or
Jacobello (and apart from Nicola, who had died in
1404: see note 26).

giana’).
34 Hampton Court, The Royal Collection, inv. 581,
28.3 x 20.4 cm.That it belonged to the same series
as the panels in the Vatican was recognized by
Miklós Boskovits, who knows of another painting
by the same hand: see Shearman 1983, pp. 284-285
no. 309.
35 Venice, Semenzato, 21 September 2002, lot 140,
