Description:
|
The convent of the church suffered in its history from numerous disasters, from the 1771 fire to the 1966 River Arno flood. The Last Supper (Cenacolo) by Allori is high on the wall of the refectory and has been spared. Allori includes two small painted windows with Tuscan landscapes at top. At the bottom are a self-portrait of the artist and a portrait of the the commissioner, who was a 'Father Luke', from Venice. Like Ghirlandaio, Allori includes cats in his Last Supper as a symbol of the influence of evil. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
