St Dominic (Cosmè Tura)

St Dominic is a c. 1475 tempera and gold on panel painting, now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. It originated in the Canonici collection in Ferrara, from which it was acquired by professor Giuseppe Grassi in 1905. It forms part of a split-up altarpiece and relates to another five fragments of similar dimensions and style, which may have come from a single altarpiece or several. Most art historians assign St Dominic to the San Giacomo in Argenta altarpiece (Mario Salmi, 1957, Nalajoli, 1974) or the altarpiece in Ferrara (Roberto Longhi, 1934, Adolfo Venturi, 1914, and Ricci). * * * * * *
