Roverella Altarpiece
The Roverella Altarpiece was a 1470–1474 oil and egg-tempera on poplar panel work by Cosmè Tura, commissioned by abbot and cardinal Bartolomeo Roverella for San Giorgio fuori le mura in Ferrara in memory of his brother bishop Lorenzo Roverella. It was damaged in an explosion in 1709 and moved out of the church. It is now split up between several museums.
