  • ... that Botticelli's four panels with Scenes from the Life of Saint Zenobius are split between three museums? expand catalogue entry: This is the third in a series of four panels depicting the life and miracles of Saint Zenobius, the fourth-century bishop of Florence and one of the city's patron saints. The first two panels of the series are in the National Gallery, London; the fourth is in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden.
    • ALT1:... that Botticelli's four panels with Scenes from the Life of Saint Zenobius show the saint bringing five different people back to life? Source: expand catalogue entry, with count added: "... he raises to life ONE the son of a Christian mother, and he restores sight to a blind man. The Museum’s panel shows three further miracles (Mazzo, chapters XVIII–XXIV). At the left Saint Zenobius encounters a funeral procession of a dead youth and restores the boy to life TWO. In the center Zenobius comes upon his companions weeping over the corpse of a porter who was killed crossing the Apennines while transporting the relics of four saints (shown as skeletons in a casket). He restores the porter to life THREE by invoking the relics. In a room in the palace in the right background Zenobius blesses a glass of water and salt for his subdeacon Eugenius, who is shown a second time walking across the square and, in the foreground, is shown a third time restoring to life FOUR his relative, who had died without receiving the sacraments. In the fourth panel is shown the death and subsequent raising to life of a youth FIVE (in three episodes)..."

QPQ done - in fact on the same day, but somehow forgot to note here. Johnbod (talk) 02:39, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
