"The early Italian High Altar by Ugolino di Nerio for Santa Croce, the great Franciscan church of Florence, is well-documented. With at least thirty-five sections in all, this massive altar was painted and erected c. 1325-30. These panels recall Duccio's sense of style and organization, as Ugolino was still working with Byzantine line and colour. The altar was dismantled shortly after 1566 and moved to the church's dormitory. By the 1830s, most of its panel had been sold. Now the surviving panels are scattered among museums and private collections.The panels represent St John the Baptist and above him Sts Matthias ands Elizabeth of Hungary (left, ); St Paul and above him Sts Matthew and James the Less (centre); St Peter and above him Sts James the Greater and Philip."
