Artwork description as provided by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)
This picture, unfortunately not in good condition, is from an altarpiece, the reconstruction of which has been much debated; a companion panel of Saint Nicholas of Bari is also known. The saint is shown from a low viewpoint, as though standing on the edge of the frame. The elaborate pose and expressive, corrugated drapery are hallmarks of Tura's style. Tura worked for the Este court in Ferrara and was a painter of enormous originality.
