rence, Uffizi, Rome, Vatican Art Gallery, and Washington, National Gallery) reveal his adherence to International Gothic, along with a full comprehension of the problems of volume and perspective. Other works include his \i Madonnas\i0 (Pisa, Museum Naz. and Wash
ington, National Gallery) and the famous \i Adoration of the Magi\i0 , painted for the Palla Strozzi Chapel in FlorenceÆs Santa Trinita (signed and dated 1423, now in the Uffizi).\ATXsh4607
