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, and recounts the birth of St. John Baptist to his parents, Elizabeth and Zechariah (or Zachary, a Jewish priest) during the visitation of the Virgin. The panel, framed with a decorative border includes two scenes, the birth and the circumcision. (Source: Fondazione Federico Zeri (University of Bologna); http://catalogo.fondazionezeri.unibo.it/)
