Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints; Crucifixion; Coronation of the Virgin

This triptych by the Maestro Daddesco, a Florentine follower of Bernardo Daddi active around 1340-1350, combines three essential scenes of Christian devotion: the enthroned Virgin with saints, the Crucifixion, and the Coronation of the Virgin. The artist's conventional name reflects his close stylistic dependence on Daddi, whose workshop dominated Florentine small-scale devotional painting at mid-century. Such portable triptychs served as private altarpieces for domestic worship or travel.

Executed in egg tempera on panel with gold ground and engaged Gothic frame, the three-part composition uses miniaturist precision typical of Daddi's circle. The figures combine Giottesque solidity with the more lyrical, decorative qualities favored by mid-Trecento Florentine painters.
