The Group of saints. by Bernardo Daddi

The Group of saints.

Bernardo Daddi·1330

Historical Context

This group of saints by Bernardo Daddi, painted around 1330 and now in the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, testifies to the wide dispersal of Florentine Gothic painting across European collections. Daddi, Giotto's most commercially successful follower, ran a large workshop that produced devotional panels for churches, confraternities, and private patrons throughout Tuscany. This panel likely formed part of a larger altarpiece complex, with the saints serving as intercessors flanking a central Madonna or Crucifixion.

Technical Analysis

Executed in egg tempera on gold-ground panel, the saints are arranged in the formal grouping typical of Gothic polyptych components. Daddi's characteristic soft modeling, warm flesh tones, and gently inclined heads give the figures an approachable tenderness that distinguished his devotional style from Giotto's grander manner.
