Description:
|
The Oratory of St. John the Baptist (Oratorio di San Giovanni Battista) is a 14th-century small chapel or prayer hall best known for its Late Gothic style fresco cycle (1416) by the brothers Lorenzo and Jacopo Salimbeni. This is one of the nine scenes from the Life of St. John the Baptist on the west wall. John’s parents, Zechariah or Zachary (a Jewish priest), and Elizabeth, were without children and were too old to conceive. The Angel Gabriel appeared to Zachary and announced they would have a son and his name should be John. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
