"saints nicholas of tolentino and john the baptist and saint peter martyr and a bishop saint, both in the national gallery’s collection, are panels from the dal ponte altarpiece. It was a multi-part altarpiece and we can tell that these panels would have formed part of the upper tier because the vaulted ceiling is painted as though viewed from below. The third panel of the upper tier is in a private collection. The altarpiece, made for the church of san francesco in casale monferrato, was dedicated to saint andrew and he was depicted in the main panel (brera, milan). Saint francis and saint agatha with kneeling donor (accademia albertina, turin) was on the left of the main panel and saints catherine and sebastian (brera, milan) was on the right. The meticulously painted luxury, humanity and sense of space in these panels show the influence of francesco cossa, with whom spanzotti had worked as a young man, as well as flemish, burgundian and milanese painting.
