Andrea del Castagno’s fresco, "Lying Saint," depicts a figure in repose, likely a saint, with a flowing robe. While details are lost due to damage, the figure’s pose and the emphasis on their drapery, characteristic of Early Renaissance painting, suggest a strong influence from Classical art. The use of fresco technique, a durable medium for wall paintings, was common during the period, and the work displays the characteristic bold contours and expressive faces of Castagno's style.
