The represeented saints on the vault of the Cappella di Eleonora are Michael, Francis, John the Evangelist, and Jerome.
Eleonora saw her chapel as a place to escape the activity of daily life and retreat into prayer. Three saints depicted in the ceiling fresco also withdrew into isolation in order to encounter God: Francis is shown receiving the stigmata; Jerome is reenacting the Passion as a penitent; and John is on Patmos experiencing his vision of the Apocalypse.
