This fresco by Giovanni da Milano, dated 1370, is located in the Rinuccini Chapel of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. The scene depicts a saint, possibly Saint Anthony, seated on a rocky outcrop. The saint is dressed in a green tunic and red robe, and gestures towards an angel above. The fresco is notable for its naturalistic depiction of the figures and its use of light and shadow. Giovanni da Milano, an Italian painter active in the 14th century, is considered one of the leading masters of the Sienese school.
