This image displays a multi-panel, gold-ground polyptych, an artwork by Andrea Orcagna, housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The artwork features elaborate gilded Gothic architectural framing with pointed arches, decorative spires, and spiraling gold columns separating the individual panels. It is displayed against a plain, light-colored wall. The central panel depicts the Virgin Mary, crowned and seated on a throne, cradling the naked Christ Child. Two smaller, winged angels with pink complexions are visible below the Virgin's throne, appearing to support it. To the left of the central panel, in two distinct sections: The leftmost panel portrays an elderly male saint, identified as St. Romuald. He stands in a dark, open cloak worn over a white monastic habit and holds a closed brown book in his left hand. He has a tonsured head and a dark beard. The adjacent panel features another elderly, bearded male saint, identified as St. John the Baptist. He is depicted wearing a flowing yellow-gold outer garment over a dark undergarment, holding a closed book in his left hand and a tall, slender staff in his right. To the right of the central panel, also in two distinct sections: The panel directly beside the central one presents an elderly, bearded male saint, identified as St. Peter. He is dressed in a pinkish-red outer garment over a blue undergarment, holding an open scroll with partially legible Latin text in his left hand and a long staff in his right. The rightmost panel portrays a tonsured male saint, identified as St. Bartholomew. He is clad in a black monastic habit over a white undergarment and holds an open book with partially legible Latin text in his left hand. Rays of light appear to emanate from behind his figure.
