San Bernardino Altarpiece

The San Bernardino Altarpiece is a 1521 oil on canvas painting by Lorenzo Lotto, named after the chapel on Via Pignolo in Bergamo, for which it was commissioned by the 'Disciplinati', a lay confraternity. It still hangs in its original position. Lotto also worked on the Santo Spirito Altarpiece at around the same time for the church of Santo Spirito in Bergamo.[1]

The work is signed and dated "LLotus / M D XXI" on the lowest step in the centre[2]. Lotto may have been inspired by Raphael's Madonna of the Baldacchino, which he could have seen on his 1510 trip to Florence, and Giovanni Cariani's 1517 San Gottardo Altarpiece in the church of that name in Bergamo.[3] To the left of the Madonna and Child are Saint Joseph and Bernardino of Siena, whilst to the right are John the Baptist and Anthony Abbot.

gollark: Also, I can afford to run this without real-world pay. I just don't want to be spammed with bad code.
gollark: CC would be kind of æ to use.
gollark: The main issue is still billing for it, I think; do you charge the person who *created* a trusted script per invocation/by resource use somehow (and risk possible denial of service against a script by spamming it with transactions - not sure if this is actually a problem since it would be costly), or do you charge fees to the person invoking it (which is an issue as krist is not that divisible)?
gollark: No. Also, I reserve the right to not actually do this due to anything whatsoever.
gollark: Well, it could be launched separately and run along with krist if it was popular enough.
