The most controversial question about Giotto is whether or not he painted, as first stated by Vasari, the 28 scenes of the Legend of St. Francis running around the two sides and one end of the Upper Church of S Francesco, Assisi. Scholarship is divided into two camps. As a compromise, the supporters for Giotto’s authorship of the St. Francis cycle have proposed that most of the cycle is by Giotto’s assistants to his design. There is wide agreement to attribute the last three scenes (XXVI–XXVIII), and probably scene I as well, to a distinct artist, frequently identified as the Saint Cecilia Master. The date is in dispute as well, with a range argued between 1291 and 1307. Other hands attributed include the Master of Legend of St. Francis, the Isaac Painter, and the Master of the Obsequies of St. Francis. All four may have been artists from Rome, not affiliated with Giotto. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
