St Hugh of Lincoln and St Benedict of Nursia

religious

This is a fragment which originally formed part of a polyptych consisting of a corpus with two wings. Judging from the angle at which the saint at right is standing, it probably served as the right wing, as the saint seems to be turning to the central scene of the corpus. Formerly the painting was attributed to the Master of the Bambino Vispo.
