About this painting
This was a flag. Christ crowning his mother on a gold ground was the front face of a two-sided processional standard, carried through Fabriano on the Virgin's feast days by a confraternity that had paid for it. On its back Francis received the stigmata. Sometime before 1834 it was cut in half — almost certainly so that both faces could hang on a gallery wall — and the Coronation went to Los Angeles, the Stigmata to a villa near Parma. The banner has not been whole in two centuries.
