Predella Panel. The Pope Issues a Bull to a Carmelite Delegation 1329

"Predella Panel. The Pope Issues a Bull to a Carmelite Delegation" is a 1329 tempera painting on wood by the Italian artist Pietro Lorenzetti. The scene depicts a historical moment: Pope John XXII issuing a papal bull to a delegation of Carmelite friars. Lorenzetti's skillful use of perspective, as seen in the receding lines of the architecture and the detailed depiction of the figures, is characteristic of the Sienese School of painting. The painting is a testament to Lorenzetti's mastery of both technical skill and historical accuracy, making it a valuable work for both art historians and religious scholars.
