Altichiero's Anchona for Margareta Lupi: a Context for a Lost Painting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Veronese painter Altichiero (documented 1369-84) has long been associated with the Lupi di Soragna family. Originally from Parma, but exiled for their Guelph associations, several branches of Lupi settled in Padua in the 1360s. Bonifacio Lupi is well documented as a condottiere and as the patron both of the hospital on the Via S. Gallo, Florence, and of the chapel of S. Giacomo in the Santo, Padua, frescoed by Altichiero. His uncle, Raimondino, commissioned the oratory of S. Giorgio on the Piazza del Santo, also decorated by Altichiero.' We know less about the myriad of everyday commissions Altichiero is likely to have undertaken, especially since there is no extant panel signed or dated by him. The purpose of this note is to publish in full documentary evidence about the context and patronage of one domestic painting by the artist, which has unfortunately not survived. The recipient of the work was Margareta, the daughter of Corradino Lupi, a kinsman and trusted agent of Bonifacio. The panel formed part of her trousseau on the occasion of her first marriage with the Paduan apothecary Giacomo da Bragazo, and was paid for in 1384.2 Since Margareta's father had died on 15th September 1383, it was Bonifacio Lupi who, as executor, carried out Corradino's wishes and kept a meticulous record.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
