Chapel of St. John in the Dominican Church with frescoes and paintings of Giotto school (14th century) - Bolzano, South Tyrol, northern Italy,

---

Chiesa dei Domenicani was originally dedicated in 1272 but was completely rebuilt during the early 14th-century, with four new lateral chapels. The Cappella di San Giovanni was commissioned by a family of bankers from Florence and realized around 1330 by members of the School of Giotto. Some of the frescoes were painted by the local Bolzano School, while others differ from techniques employed by the school. The frescoes inside Cappella di San Giovanni represent moments in the lives of Mary, Saint Nicholas, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint John the Evangelist, as the chapel is dedicated to the latter. Amongst the frescoes, the “Triumph of Death,” and the “Horsemen of the Apocalypse” stand out the most.
