NOTES: [1] The painted pinnacles and the panels in the main register of this triptych are by different hands. They were assembled in a modern frame around the mid-19th century, before which time their provenance is unknown. For further, see Laurence B. Kanter, Italian Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Boston, 1994), pp. 101-103, cat. 19. [2] Attributed in the catalogue to Bartolo di Fredi.
