Pinacoteca Civica, Iesi
"The picture shows the
central panel of the Altarpiece of St Lucy. The three panels of the
predella
are also in the Pinacoteca Civica. The altarpiece was commissioned by
the
Confraternity of Santa Lucia of Iesi in 1523. However, the
execution
started only in 1528 and ended only in 1532. The altarpiece was placed
in the church of St Florian at Iesi, and it was transferred to the
museum
in 1861."
