This panoramic view of the frescoes of the decoration of the Lower Church of San Francesco at Assisi was taken from the apse area looking back toward the nave. To either side we see two panoramic scenes of the Crucifixion: the one on the left by Giotto (or the school of Giotto), the one on the right by Pietro Lorenzetti. Cimabue's fresco of the Madonna Enthroned with the Child, St Francis and Four Angels is seen to the left of the nave. This was later surrounded by the frescoes of Giotto (or the school of Giotto). The frescoes in the cross vault over the high altar represent allegories of the Franciscan virtues, and St Francis in Glory; these are by Giotto.
