SAN MARINO, CA---The Art Collectors’ Council of The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens has purchased two panel paintings by Italian Renaissance master
Cosimo Rosselli (1439–1507).
Saint Ansanus and Saint Anthony Abbot, made in about 1470, originally formed the lower third of an altarpiece, the centerpiece of which was The Huntington’s own
Madonna and Child in Glory, one of the core works in its Renaissance paintings collection. Later this year, the panels will be reunited with the Madonna in the Huntington Art Gallery, among Rogier van der Weyden’s Virgin and Child and Domenico Ghirlandaio’s pair of portraits of a man and woman. [
