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. The earliest works reliably attributed to Uccello are the frescoes on the east wall. The frescoes, badly damaged due to the exposure to weather for centuries, were partly detached and restored.
