The Virgin and Child; Charity of Saint Nicholas; Crucifixion; Christ and the Samarian Woman

Niccolò di Tommaso was a Florentine painter and follower of Nardo di Cione who worked across Tuscany and even in Naples during the 1360s and 1370s. This multi-scene panel combines four narratives — the Virgin and Child, the Charity of Saint Nicholas, the Crucifixion, and Christ and the Samaritan Woman — suggesting it served as a portable altarpiece or tabernacle door. Such composite panels were common devotional objects in Trecento Italy, enabling private meditation on diverse sacred episodes.

Egg tempera on a single panel divided into four compartments with gold ground throughout. The narrative scenes are rendered in the linear, expressive style of the Orcagna workshop circle, with compact figure groupings and clearly legible gestures.
