Sano di Pietro panels discovered near Sheffield

Two 15th-century Sienese panel paintings have been discovered in an English parish church in a Yorkshire mining village, outside Sheffield. They had hung unrecognised in the Church of St John and St Mary Magdalene in Goldthorpe . . .

The panels are five feet high and are among Sano’s largest works outside Italy. They remain in fine condition and have not required conservation. Nothing has been published on the paintings and they are reproduced here for the first time.
