Between 1317 and 1337, Giotto painted the walls of the two principal family chapels in the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence. The Bardi Chapel contains six scenes from the “Life of St. Francis,” with a seventh scene – the most important of St. Francis’ life: “St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata”- painted above the entrance of the chapel. Giotto’s paintings reflect the hand of a mature master who continued to innovate and produce paintings that can move audiences even centuries later.
