Malawi Philately: 1972 Christmas – 15t Virgin & Child Between St. Bonaventura and St Louis of Toulouse – Crivelli

Vittorio (or Vittore) Crivelli (1404-c.1502) was an Italian painter, in Venice. His works are similar in style to his brother’s, Carlo Crivelli, but less accomplished.

The image depicts the Virgin and Child enthroned with St Bonaventura (left) and St Louis of Toulouse (right). Below the main three panels are four pairs of figures of Saints: St Agatha and St Augustine; an unidentified female Franciscan Saint and St Clar.
