Notes The altarpiece from the Bichi chapel in Sant'Agostino, Siena, was consecrated to Saint Christopher and donated 1487 by Antonio di Giovanni Bichi, as repräsentative for his daughter Eustachia for her husband Cristoforo di Pietro Bellanti, who had died in 1482. Presumably the Altar was divided in the 18th-century, identified 1913
