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. The Madonna of humility refers to portrayals of the Virgin Mary which depict her as sitting on the ground, or sitting upon a low cushion. She may be holding the Child Jesus in her lap. In this case she is also ringed with an aureole containing saints and the adult risen Christ. This paintings flanks a niche on the east wall, producing the effect of a triptych.
