Madonna and Child with Saints Jerome, John the Baptist, Bernardino and Bartholomew

With its gold-ground and tempera technique, this devotional altarpiece is an example of the international Gothic style that survived in Siena well into the fifteenth century. Noted for the richness and variety of his palette, Sano di Pietro was a successful master who ran a busy workshop in that city. He seems to have been familiar with Venetian religious painting, a certain Byzantine preciousness being part of his repertoire. A number of Sano's subjects focused on the life and works of San Bernardino, a controversial local saint the painter had known personally. It was Bernardino who conceived the device of the Holy Name in the Sun, an emblem in which twelve solar rays represented twelve articles of faith promulgated by the Apostles. For this doctrinal innovation, he was charged with heresy. In this panel, Bernardino's participation is restricted to that of an auxiliary figure. Appropriately, it is the blue-mantled Virgin and her delightful infant who hold our attention.

憑藉其金底和蛋彩畫技術，這個虔誠的祭壇畫是在錫耶納倖存到 15 世紀的國際哥特式風格的一個例子。Sano di Pietro以其豐富多樣的調色板而著稱，他是一位成功的大師，他在那個城市經營著一家繁忙的工作室。他似乎對威尼斯的宗教繪畫很熟悉，某種拜占庭式的珍貴是他的作品的一部分。薩諾的一些主題集中在聖貝納迪諾的生平和作品上，這位畫家親自認識的有爭議的當地聖人。是伯納迪諾構思了太陽聖名的裝置，這是一個像徵，其中十二條太陽光線代表使徒頒布的十二條信條。對於這一教義創新，他被指控為異端。在這個小組中，貝納迪諾的參與僅限於輔助人物。恰當地，吸引我們注意力的是藍披風的處女和她可愛的嬰兒。
