Note to moderator: Read the answerline carefully. A donor portrait is included in a panel centering on these objects in a bronze door by Filarete (“fee-la-RET-ay”). Along with the writings of Thomas Aquinas, these objects are held in the central panel of a painting by Orcagna (“or-KAHN-yuh”) for the Santa Maria Novella’s Strozzi (“STROAT-see”) Chapel. A boat is docked at the edge of a Raphael cartoon in which these objects are held by a kneeling man in blue and yellow robes. These objects rest on marble steps to the right of a turbaned prisoner of war in Titian’s Pesaro Madonna. A fresco titled for these objects features the Tribute Money and Stoning of Christ in its middle ground, and compares Sixtus IV with Solomon in two inscriptions on Arches of Constantine that flank an idealized octagonal temple. For 10 points, a Sistine Chapel fresco by Perugino centers on what gold and silver symbols of papal authority held by a gray-haired saint? ■END■
