Description:
|
|
Sant'Apollonia was a former Benedictine convent, founded in 1339. In 1447 the abbess hired Andrea del Castagno to decorate the west wall of the convent’s refectory (Cenacolo). The nuns also commissioned this painting. Schiavo was a follower of Masolino; this is confirmed by those works securely attributable to him, though they date from a later phase of his activity. They include this signed and dated fresco. In this devotional image the nuns, all acting as Mary, contemplate compassionately Christ's suffering.
