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 two years later the abbess hired Andrea to decorate the west wall of the convent’s refectory (Cenacolo) with frescoes of the Last Supper, the Resurrection, the Crucifixion and the Entombment. Castagno worked on these from June to October 1447. The Last Supper has been cleaned three times since 1952 and now appears with very nearly its original clarity of form and brilliance of coloring. It shows Andrea at the height of his powers. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
