View of the frescoes in the left transept 1283

This is a photograph of the frescoes painted by Cimabue in the left transept of the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. Cimabue was a leading Italian painter and architect of the late 13th century, and is considered a bridge between the Byzantine and Italian Gothic styles. His frescoes, completed in 1283, are known for their vibrant colors and dramatic compositions. The scenes depict the life of St. Francis, including his death and canonization, and are a testament to Cimabue's mastery of fresco painting. Cimabue's fresco cycle is one of the most important and influential works of early Italian art.
