The Tarlati Polyptych

The Tarlati Polyptych is a polyptych painted by the Italian artist Pietro Lorenzetti, in tempera and gold on panel, in 1320. It is located at the church of Santa Maria della Pieve in Arezzo, Tuscany.[1] At its centre is the Madonna (draped in a magnificent ermine-lined robe) and Child, flanked (from left to right) by the saints Donatus (Arezzo's patron saint), John the Evangelist, John the Baptist, and Matthew.[1][2] The altarpiece is named after its patron Guido Tarlati, Bishop of Arezzo, who died in 1327.
