Badia Polyptych – Giotto – Uffizi Gallery, Florence

The Virgin and Child flanked by Saints Nicholas, John the Evangelist, Peter and Benedict under gold arches, one of the earliest polyptychs, its frame evoking the arcades of a loggia. Painted by Giotto around 1295–1300 for the Badia Fiorentina, it has been in the Uffizi since 1966.
