Description:
|
|
Cell 38 and 39 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. The Adoration of the Magi and the image of Christ as Man of Sorrows in the recessed tabernacle below met Cosimo's gaze once he ascended the stairs to Cell 39. Benozzo Gozzoli, whose style closely resembled that of Angelico, and an assistant painted these frescoes. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
