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. This is one of the nine scenes from the Life of St. John the Baptist on the west wall, and recounts the Virgin visiting the parents of John the Baptist: Elizabeth, her cousin and her husband, Zechariah (or Zachary, a Jewish priest). In this scene, the Virgin is taking leave after the birth of John, while pregnant with Jesus. (Source: Fondazione Federico Zeri (University of Bologna); http://catalogo.fondazionezeri.unibo.it/)
