Description:

|
Sant'Apollonia was a former Benedictine convent, founded in 1339. In June 1445 Pope Eugenius IV granted permission to the nuns to extend their buildings, and this began a series of commissions. 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. Today the Cenacolo is a museum which also houses some detached frescos and works by other artists. The panel shows, from left, Saints Louis of Toulouse, Benedict, Apollonia of Alexandria and Catherine of Alexandria. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
