About the work, the curator of the exhibition Antonio Paolucci talks of\u00a0<em>&#8220;a wooden carpentry of extraordinary quality, almost a masterpiece of structural engineering, which is miraculously intact to date; tender and bright colour shades, Flemish subtleties worthy of Fra Angelico equalling the Tabernacle of the Linaioli and San Marco frescoes&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Benozzo Gozzoli grew professionally with the master Beato Angelico, painter protagonist of the first Florentine Renaissance.
