| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from the altarpiece 'Madonna dei Raccomandati' by the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Boccati (c. 1420–c. 1480), occupying the left portion of the square field. The Virgin Mary is depicted frontally in a red robe and golden mantle, flanked by two praying angels with haloes against a gilded background, with a crowd of supplicants rendered in smaller scale at the lower register. To the right, a vertical black panel bears a finely struck and frosted three-dimensional relief of two roses on a thorned stem, providing a sculptural contrast to the polychrome painted scene. |
