The painting "St. Florian" is a notable work created in 1473 by the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco del Cossa. This piece is part of the larger Griffoni Polyptych, a grand altarpiece originally commissioned for the Griffoni Chapel in the Basilica of San Petronio, Bologna. The Griffoni Polyptych, renowned for its intricate detail and vibrant colors, was a collaborative effort between del Cossa and fellow artist Ercole de' Roberti.

"St. Florian" depicts the eponymous saint, who is venerated as a protector against fire and floods, and is often invoked by firefighters. In this painting, St. Florian is portrayed in a stately manner, adorned in a richly detailed armor that reflects del Cossa's mastery of texture and form. The saint holds a banner in one hand and a bucket of water in the other, symbolizing his role as a guardian against fire. The background features a meticulously rendered landscape, showcasing del Cossa's ability to blend figures with their surroundings harmoniously.

Francesco del Cossa, a prominent figure of the Ferrara School, is celebrated for his innovative use of perspective and his skillful application of color and light. His work on the Griffoni Polyptych, including "St. Florian," exemplifies the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style, characterized by a greater emphasis on naturalism and human emotion.

The Griffoni Polyptych was disassembled in the 18th century, and its panels were dispersed across various collections worldwide. Today, "St. Florian" and other segments of the polyptych are housed in different museums, where they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance. The disassembly and subsequent distribution of the polyptych's panels have made the task of viewing the work in its entirety a challenge, yet each piece, including "St. Florian," remains a testament to the collaborative genius of del Cossa and de' Roberti, and to the rich artistic heritage of the Italian Renaissance.
