Post lot text GHERARDO STARNINA, SAINT CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA AND SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST, TEMPERA ON PANEL AND GOLD GROUND, A FRAGMENTIn his masterpiece the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) placed Gherardo Starnina (1351-1413) amongst the greatest artists, for him Starnina was the equal of Agnolo Gaddi (circa 1350-1396) and Lorenzo Monaco (1370-1425). According to Vasari, the Florentine painter spent almost a decade in Spain between 1378 and 1387, and on his return to his native city he introduced the International Gothic style to his fellow artists, paving the way for artists such as Masaccio (1401-1428), Fra Angelico (1395-1455) and Masolino da Panicale (1383-1447). However, until 1974 the artist remained an enigma for modern art historians. Starnina’s work was divided in two, with the lion’s share attributed to the 'Maestro del Bambino Vispo'. Thanks to the remarkable work of Jeanne van Waadenoijen (J. van Waadenoijen, ‘A Proposal for Starnina: Exit the Maestro del Bambino Vispo?’, Burlington Magazine, 1974, CCXVI, pp. 82-91) we now understand that these two painters were one and the same, and can appreciate the importance of Starnina's contribution to the evolution of the Florentine school. This small panel, with its vivid colours, rich punchwork and delicate brushstrokes, is replete with the humanity and charm that mark all of Starnina's paintings. The elegant figure of St. Catherine wears sumptuous clothes, in her hand she holds a martyr's palm and on her head she has a magnificent crown. The crown reappeared after the panel was cleaned, and does not appear in old images of the panel. This explains why the great collector Alexis François Artaud de Montor (1772-1849) was unable to identify the saint when the panel was part of his famous collection of gold grounds in the early 19th century. In the same collection there was also a panel depicting Saint Benedict and Saint Lucy that may have originated from same altarpiece as ours.
