caption_attribution_description: English: The Carrand Triptych, presumably created by Giovanni di Francesco del Cervelliera
context_page_description: Giovanni di Francesco del Cervelliera or Giovanni di Francesco was an Italian painter, active in Florence in the mid-fifteenth century.
context_section_description: In the centuries after his death, the artistic identity of Giovanni di Francesco was nearly forgotten. The Carrand Triptych (formerly in the Carrand collection; now in the Bargello, Florence), representing the Virgin and Child with SS Francis, John the Baptist, Nicholas and Peter, was a key work in his modern rediscovery. The triptych, and a number of works evidently by the same hand, were attributed to an artist known only as the Master of the Carrand Triptych until 1917, when Pietro Toesca identified the Master of the Carrand Triptych as Giovanni di Francesco, on the evidence of a document concerning payment for a fresco in the church of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence.
