Description:
The lunette and the panels with Stories of Christ and of Saint Francis constituted the ornaments of the doors of a wardrobe containing relics already in the sacristy of the Basilica of S. Croce, Florence. These works show his mastership of Giotto's new style, to which he added a personal experimentation in the architectural backgrounds.
