1500, Sandro Botticelli, Four Scenes from the Early Life of Saint Zenobius -- National Gallery (London)
From the museum label: This panel was probably painted as the spalliera (backboard) of a chest in a Florentine palace. It shows scenes from the life of the fifth-century saint Zenobius who later became a patron saint of Florence. From left to right, Zenobius rejects the marriage proposed by his parents; he is baptised; his mother is baptised; he is appointed Bishop of Florence by the Pope, Damasus.
