Saint John on Patmos, Madonna and Child Enthroned, and Death of the Virgin; The Crucifixion

Pacino di Buonaguida was a Florentine painter and manuscript illuminator active in the early 14th century, known for his miniaturist precision even on panel paintings. This complex multi-scene work from around 1320 combines three distinct subjects — Saint John on Patmos, the Enthroned Madonna, and the Death of the Virgin — with a Crucifixion on the reverse, suggesting it served as a portable devotional diptych or triptych for a traveling patron.

Egg tempera on panel with gold ground, executed with the fine brushwork of a trained miniaturist. The multiple scenes are organized within Gothic architectural frames, with figures rendered at a small scale that showcases Pacino's meticulous attention to narrative detail and decorative pattern.
