Saint Eligius's Mother Told of Her Son's Future Fame

c. 1397-1400
Attributed to Martino da Verona (Martino di Alberto) (Italian, died 1412, Verona)
The room on the right shows the basic elements of a late medieval bedroom: a hooded fireplace and complicated structure for a bed with its own walls, shelf, and bench chests. The sleeping figure on the left appears in a similar structure, itself set in an alcove.
