Resurrection of the Boy (detail)

1483-85
Fresco
Santa Trinita, Florence

While playing, a boy falls out of the windows of the Palazzo Spini. A red ball falling to the street below him. Some passers-by see the falling child, rush up in help, but it is too late: the child is dead. The depicted palace and the Ponte Trinita over the Arno still stand today, though they now look different from the outside.

The detail shows the façade of the Palazzo Spini with the boy falling from the window.
