Italian term or phrase: lenti
Il dipinto, tutto sommato, è in buone condizioni e si possono apprezzare, dunque, le incredibili finezze ottiche che l'autore sparge a piene mani, e in primis le ombre portate che tengono conto della fonte di luce realmente esistente, e cioè la bifora che sovrasta l'antico altare; (…) non è affatto casuale che il maestro abbia dipinto a trompe-l'oeil, sulla destra, un paio di lenti attaccate a un chiodo: un'esplicita dichiarazione di poetica” (Donati 2004, p.45, nota 36).
