Around 1310 the high altar was adorned with the celebrated Madonna and Child with angels by Giotto, now in the Uffizi. Domenico Ghirlandaio painted frescoes of the Madonna of Mercy and the Pietà (1470-72) on the second altar. Early in the 17th century the friars had their large cloister frescoed with scenes from the Life of St. Francis by Jacopo Ligozzi, Giovanni da San Giovanni, and others. The large refectory of the church of Ognissanti is located between the first and second cloister of the old convent. The room on the opposite wall gives access to a splendid stone door in pietra serena, with two basins, built in 1480, on each side. The central fresco, is the work of Domenico Ghirlandaio, who produced with this work one of the best examples of his art, representing a serene yet dramatic episode of the Last Supper.
Everyone loves to travel, but not everyone loves to travel the same way. All you have to do is have the time in your life. Meeting Benches. The way to make the world a better place is easy. Choose a bench, where you can publish what you have painted or written, a review of a book that you’ve read, or the story of a journey that you have made. Past and Present are here and now.
