Description
This was placed on an altar in the 15th century in Florence, Italy. There are both angels and the Virgin Mary on the altar cloth. It was used during the time of the Italian Renaissance, which makes its relevance extremely interesting. This was a time when pictures and items associated with Saints became seen less as a physical manifestation of the Saint that could grant power and more as a ephemeral representation.
