Scope and Contents

Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.VENI.0509; Public Notes: Also, a handwritten note on the reverse of the photograph references these panels to correspond with others (our SC.MSS.088.VENI.0505-0507) - Christ the Redeemer (El Paso), St. Andrew (Amsterdam), and St. Peter (Rome) for the same predella. This correlates with Lightbown (2004)'s assertions that these were from the Force altarpiece.; Lightbown (2004) attributes these panels to the predella of the Force altarpiece of 1482.
