LECTURE 4 "The Peruzzi Chapel"
1h 19m
The fresco cycle in the Peruzzi Chapel was either produced simultaneously with or shortly after the completion of the Bardi Chapel. Here Giotto painted scenes from the lives of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, in honor of the chapel’s patron Giovanni Peruzzi. Executed in the “a secco” technique of mural painting, the state of conversation of the six paintings is not optimal, but still reveal the visionary work of Giotto in the last years of his life.
