The Baptistery, Padua
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
An exploration of the fascinating and complex decorative scheme painted by Giusto de Menabuoi, which fills the interior of the public baptistery commandeered to act as a family funerary chapel by Fina Buzzacarina, consort of Francesco da Carrara, Lord of Padua. This rare commission by a woman patron ingeniously reflects the dual role of the building.
Part of the series 'Art, Society and Religion in Siena, Florence and Padua, 1280-1400'
