information from the Pinacoteca di Brera catalog
description: The polyptych, which comes from the Franciscan church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Bergamo, was dismembered at the time of the Napoleonic abolitions and came to Brera within a century. Only part of the original structure has been preserved, for example the lateral compartments of the upper row, while the frame that encloses it dates from after 1896. It is one of the artist’s masterpieces, an extraordinary altarpiece that dazzles with its profusion of gold and the preciosity of the clothes and decorations and is traditionally assigned, for its stylistic features and in the absence of documentary evidence, to the eighth or ninth decade of the 15th century.
