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 a meeting between John the Baptist and Jesus as children. This panel is heavily damaged, but still has shows an idyllic, almost fairy-tale woodland setting with animals witnessing the event.
