Description:
|
|
Cell 38 and 39 of the San Marco dormitory were intended for Cosimo de' Medici, who belonged to the community by virtue of his patronage, and are larger and more opulently decorated. These two were decorated, appropriately, with a Crucifixion with Patron Saints of the Medici Family in Cell 38 and the Adoration of the Magi, a subject with strong Medicean associations, in Cell 39. This fresco is painted with a costly ground of lapis lazuli, rather than the bare plaster background found in the other cells. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
