Description:
|
|
The walls of the cloister of Santa Maria Novella were frescoed with scenes from the Old Testament in green and reddish colors, "terra verde" (a special kind of pigment made of iron oxide and silicic acid), hence the name Chiostro Verde (Green Cloister) by Paolo Uccello and his followers in the 15th century. From the first campaign, the frescoes of the Creation of the Animals and the Creation of Adam and the Creation of Eve and the Fall in the opening bay are by Uccello. The frescoes, badly damaged due to the exposure to weather for centuries, were partly detached and restored. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
