Cappella Mastrantonio, San Francesco d'Assisi, Palermo

On 2 June 1468 Laurana and Pietro de Bonitate (active 1468-1495) were commissioned by Antonio Mastrantonio to work on his family chapel in San Francesco d'Assisi, Palermo, for which they provided a statue of the Virgin and Child and the figural decoration of the entrance arch (in situ), and a tomb (untraced).

The picture shows one of the reliefs decorating the entrance arch.
