Historical Context
Altarpieces featuring rows of standing saints served both liturgical and devotional functions, identifying the church's patron saints and giving worshippers specific objects for personal prayer. Egg tempera on panel was the dominant technique of the period, demanding careful layer-by-layer construction and patient craftsmanship. It is now held at The National Gallery in London, where it can be compared with other major works of the period.
