Rinuccini Chapel (Basilica of Santa Croce) 1370

Giovanni da Milano's fresco cycle, "Rinuccini Chapel (Basilica of Santa Croce)" (1370), showcases the artist's mastery of Gothic and Early Renaissance styles. The chapel's vaulted ceiling is decorated with scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ, framed by intricate geometric patterns. The vibrant colors, naturalistic figures, and dramatic perspective contribute to a sense of grandeur and reverence, echoing the sacred space of the Basilica. This masterpiece, created during da Milano's final year, reflects the burgeoning art scene in 14th-century Florence.
