How does Coronation of the Virgin (Lorenzo Monaco) elucidate its History?
The painting is mentioned in the early 15th century by Antonio Billi. 
In the late 16th century, it was replaced in the altar it occupied by a large canvas by Alessandro Allori. The Coronation was rediscovered in the 19th century, when it was housed in the Camaldolese abbey of San Pietro a Cerreto, in poor condition. In 1872 it was restored to its frame. In 1990 the painted part was found to contain the precious and (for the time) expensive use of lapis lazuli blue.
