Crucifixion

In this large - incomplete - fresco the figures of Sts Louis of Toulouse, Paul, the Virgin Mary, Francis, John, Clare, Peter, and Anthony of Padua are lined up at the feet of a gigantic Christ. It reveals, in the quality of its colour and the classical composure of the forms, the influence of the late Giotto.
