LORENZETTI, Pietro
(b. ca. 1280, Siena, d. 1348, Siena)

Last Supper (detail)

c. 1320
Fresco
Lower Church, San Francesco, Assisi

In this series of frescoes, there is a pronounced tendency toward narrative breadth; Lorenzetti embellished the action with all sorts of frills and genrelike subsidiary scenes such as the kitchen interior in the Last Supper.
