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) with frescoes of the Last Supper, the Resurrection, the Crucifixion and the Entombment. The three scenes from the Passion suffered badly from damp and were detached in 1953, revealing the sinopie (underdrawing) beneath. These are sufficiently well preserved to testify to Andrea’s power and incisiveness as a draftsman on a monumental scale, qualities seen to similar advantage in the sinopia of the undocumented, badly damaged fresco of Christ in the Tomb Supported by Two Angels, from the lunette above a door of the cloister of Sant'Apollonia.
