The Ferrara Cathedral Organ Case was a set of 1469 tempera on canvas paintings by Cosme Tura, originally forming doors for the organ at Ferrara Cathedral but now in the cathedral museum.[1] Originally double-sided, the front and back of each door have now been separated. As originally constructed, the doors showed an annunciation scene when open and Saint George and the Princess when closed.[2]

They are rare evidence of the artist's work after he was made court painter in 1456, both in terms of quality and as a fixed point in the chronology of the artist's oeuvre. He was paid for them on 2 June 1469, as shown by one of the few surviving documents relating to his artistic career.[3] It shows influences from international Gothic (then prevalent at the court in Ferrara), Piero della Francesca, Mantegna and followers of Francesco Squarcione.[4]
