At heart a collaborative venture, the creation of early fifteenth-century panel paintings in Italy depended upon a tight network of connections between patrons, painters, woodworkers, and gilders.

Waud, and several other talented but anonymous artists as well as showcasing a variety of related artifacts and daguerreotypes.
