Polptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, The panel shows several separate images within smaller frames surrounding the central image of the titular Saint Vincent Ferrer. The saint is dressed in monastic clothing and holds an open book, though the script is too small to be legible. Around him are scenes from his life. Beginning from the top left and moving down: a marriage he conducts, a sermon he gives to many, and him praying to a devotional panel of the Madonna and Child. From the top right: him blessing a family with a perished child, the saint meeting Christ, the saint appearing in the clouds over a night sky. The bottom panels have three scenes, though the far left is obscured in the photograph. The far left scene shows him either rebuking or healing a woman being held by a crowd and other uncouth-looking individuals close by, the middle is a woman reading a book towards what is probably a memorial statue, and on the far right it is him on his deathbed. Though the scenes are not labeled they are included and representative of the saint's life. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending., c.1456-1465

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the bottom left panel from the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer. The saint is enclosed within what looks to be his study, due to the many scattered books on his shelves, open cabinets, and the Bible that is propped onto a podium opposite the kneeling saint. The saint is in a long, hooded cloak and looking at an icon of the Madonna and Child. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending., c.1456-1465
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.SICI.0005; Public Notes: This record was housed in a folder labeled "Napoli S. Pietro Martine"
Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the bottom right scene from the predella of the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer. The scene appears to show him in the midst of dying while on his deathbed. He is in the middle of the scene in a white garment with a long, black cloak over his head and back. A bishop reads out of a book and a monk beside him holds a swinging thurible. Monks frame either side of the small room, though none are shown behind the bed. Here there are two angels flying a nude male figure, presumably the saint's soul, up to an icon, presumably God the Father or a prophet. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending., c.1456-1465

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the middle left panel from the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer. The saint's head is covered and he preaches on a raised platform above a crowd. He looks directly down at them. In the crowd are numerous ladies at the front, all with white headcoverings. The men in the crowd are wearing various types of garments and some look at each other rather than up at the saint. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images.

Polyptych of Saint Vincent Ferrer, This shows the middle scene from the predella of the Polyptych of Saint Vincent of Ferrer. A woman kneels in the middle wearing a contemporary fifteenth century headdress, and two children are behind her. Each seems to hold his or her own large book which he or she reads out of, perhaps the Bible or a prayer book. She prays before an altar or altar table with three small statues on it. The table is rendered to look as though it is within an apsidal niche. At the far left of the scene, a man standing halfway behind a curtain and watching the scene. Since the saint is not visible, this may be a posthumous panel showing the donor's wife praying to a statue of the saint which sits on the table. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending., c.1456-1465
