Label Text2/24/2016: One of the twelve apostles, Philip is generally identified by a large cross. This work and the companion painting of Saint Francis, also on this wall, came from the wings of a large altarpiece, probably in Gubbio or Assisi, hill towns in Umbria to the east of Florence. Though not yet known by name, the artist is one of the most significant painters in Italy during the early 1300s for his capacity to create dramatic, lifelike forms.ProvenanceRaymond Henniker-Heaton
