      abstract = {"In the late fifteenth century, votive panel paintings, or  tavolette votive, began to accumulate around reliquary  shrines and miracle-working images throughout Italy.  Although often dismissed as popular art of little aesthetic  consequence, more than 1,500 panels from the fifteenth and  sixteenth centuries are extant, a testimony to their  ubiquity and importance in religious practice.
