Niccolini Chapel, Santa Croce, Florence

In 1585 Dosio began work on the Niccolini Chapel in Santa Croce, Florence. The appeal of the chapel is exercised in part through is polychromy. In the centre of the lateral walls are tomb-chests with tabernacles over them, each containing a seated figure, on one side Aaron and on the other Moses. Beside them are the Virtues. All figures are signed by Pietro Francavilla.
