Saint Peter Martyr Altarpiece

Its central panel of the Madonna and Child, signed "OPVS CAROLI CRIVELLI VENETI", is now in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest.

In 1868 it moved from the Demidov collection to the National Gallery in London, where they still hang.

In time the work was recognised as an arbitrary assembly of panels from different altarpieces.

Orsini and Lazzari mention an altarpiece produced in 1476 for the church of San Domenico in Ascoli Piceno – Dominican saints in the lower two registers of the Demidov polyptych confirm that they come from the so-called 1476 Altarpiece.

Federico Zeri and Rodolfo Pallucchini then joined the altarpieces together, initially referring to the first (the high altarpiece), the Pietà in the Metropolitan Museum, and then to the Madonna in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, already in the Esterhazy collection.
