Abstract


This study proposes a combined solution to two problems: the attribution of an altar panel from the Museo Diocesano of Camerino and the hagiography of the mysterious “miracle of the knight covered with shells” in this painting. The documentary sources related to the art, cult and iconography of Saint James the Great in Rome, in particular the descriptive work of Miguel Erce Jiménez, allow us to connect this panel with the lost altarpiece in Santa Maria Araceli by Giovenale of Orvieto, thus becoming the first picture in his catalogue. At the same time, these sources lead us to the Portuguese origin of the iconography of this miracle.
