Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels and a Donor

Vittore Crivelli was the younger, less talented brother of Carlo Crivelli and, like him, worked primarily in the region of the Marches in Italy. This work was the center of a multi-panel altarpiece. The donor, his hands clasped in prayer, may be Ludovico Vinci, a noble of the town of Fermo. He is known to have commissioned an altarpiece from the artist in 1481 for his chapel in the church of San Martino in Varano.
