This monograph celebrates the National Gallery's 2015 acquisition
of Giovanni da Rimini's Scenes from the Lives of the Virgin and
Other Saints (c. 1300 -1305). The painting is a rare survival from
the late Middle Ages, uniting the exquisite detail of late
Byzantine icons with the new, more naturalistic and expressive
style exemplified by the Florentine painter Giotto. Probably
created for private contemplation and worship, the painting may be
the left wing of a diptych, a theory that is examined here in
relation to its assumed companion panel Scenes from the Life of
Christ (from the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Palazzo
Barberini, Rome). Significant new research explains its
iconography, its devotional function, and the historical context in
which it was created, while fresh technical analysis brings a
greater understanding of the making and purpose of the panels and
how they were originally displayed.
