Italy: A polyptych showing the Virgin of the Assumption with Saints George, Gualberto, Laurence and Francis of Assisi. Attributed to Niccolo di Pietro Gerini (c. 1340 - 1414). Basilica of San Francesco (13th-14th centuries), Arezzo, Tuscany (2016)

Niccolò di Pietro Gerini (c. 1340 – 1414) was an Italian painter of the late Gothic period, active mainly in his native Florence although he also carried out commissions in Pisa and Prato. He was not an innovative painter but relied on traditional compositions in which he placed his figures in a stiff and dramatic movement.
