GIOTTO di Bondone (b. 1267, Vespignano, d. 1337, Firenze) Legend of St Francis: 22. Verification of the Stigmata 1300 Fresco, 270 x 230 cm Upper Church, San Francesco, Assisi This is the twenty-second of the twenty-eight scenes (twenty-five of which were painted by Giotto) of Legend of Saint Francis. Giotto's authorship of some parts of the last scenes is often questioned, and in the case of those in the last bay (after No. 25, usually attributed to the St Cecilia Master) denied completely. No one can deny the greatness of certain parts of the frescoes in the second bay of the left wall. The setting of the Verification of the Stigmata inside the church, where the three icons - of the Virgin, the Crucifix and St Michael - on the rood screen are shown leaning forward, and the curved wall of the apse is shown in the background, is a conception found only in the Institution of the Crib at Greccio. *** Keywords: ************* Author: GIOTTO di Bondone Title: Legend of St Francis: 22.
