GIOTTO di Bondone (b. 1267, Vespignano, d. 1337, Firenze) Legend of St Francis: 8. Vision of the Flaming Chariot 1297-99 Fresco, 270 x 230 cm Upper Church, San Francesco, Assisi This is the eighth of the twenty-eight scenes (twenty-five of which were painted by Giotto) of Legend of Saint Francis. The five scenes from The Vision of the Flaming Chariot to St Francis in Ecstasy (No. 8-12) re characterized by inferior workmanship, especially in the figures, though they do contain some remarkable inventions. The conception of the sleeping friars in the Vision ofthe Flaming Chariot is extraordinary; one of them is a more expressionistic version of the foreshortened soldier who sleeps with his head resting on the back of his hand in the upper wall scene of the Resurrection. *** Keywords: ************* Author: GIOTTO di Bondone Title: Legend of St Francis: 8.
