2606. THE MADONNA ENTHRONED.

_Unknown_ (Flemish: 16th Century).

In the centre of the triptych, the Virgin sits on a throne of Flemish

renaissance design. On the right, St. Ambrose; on the left, St. Louis

of Toulouse. The royal rank of the latter Saint (nephew of St. Louis,

King of France, and son of Charles of Anjou, King of Naples), who

renounced his succession and became Bishop of Toulouse, is commonly

indicated as here, by fleur-de-lys upon a blue ground.
