Stake attention in this memory
An informative panel, protected by a transparent cover, is displayed against a textured, stone-like background, likely within a historic building in Florence, Italy, specifically the Basilica di Santa Croce. The panel, titled "CAPPELLA BARDI" (Bardi Chapel) and "OPERA DI SANTA CROCE," details the frescoes by Giotto di Bondone (circa 1267-1337) and his workshop, dating from approximately 1320-1328. The main subject of the frescoes is "Storie della vita di San Francesco d'Assisi" (Stories from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi). Six numbered scenes are depicted in small images on the panel, along with their Italian titles: 1. San Francesco rinuncia ai beni terreni (Saint Francis renounces earthly goods). 2. Apparizione di San Francesco ai frati riuniti in Capitolo ad Arles (Apparition of Saint Francis to the friars reunited in Chapter at Arles). 3. Morte di San Francesco e verifica delle stimmate (Death of Saint Francis and verification of the stigmata). 4. Papa Innocenzo III approva la Regola francescana (Pope Innocent III approves the Franciscan Rule). 5. San Francesco predica davanti al Sultano d'Egitto (Saint Francis preaches before the Sultan of Egypt). 6. San Francesco appare in sogno a frate Agostino e al Vescovo Guido di Assisi (Saint Francis appears in a dream to Friar Augustine and Bishop Guido of Assisi). The panel also describes an altar piece by Coppo di Marcovaldo (circa 1225-1276 post), depicting Saint Francis of Assisi and twenty stories from his life (1245-1250), and stained glass by Jacopo del Casentino (1297-1349), featuring the Morelli family crest and various angelic and saintly figures, including Archangel Gabriel, the Annunciated Virgin, Archangel Raphael, Tobias, Archangel Michael, and Constantine. Attached to the bottom right of the panel is a smaller card with QR codes and the text "Ciclo di affreschi della Cappella Bardi / Fresco cycle of the Bardi Chapel" by Giotto, dated 1334-35. It also shows "ITA" and "ENG" language options and a website address: "www.junghiglottotelia." The overall scene is an informative display designed to educate visitors about the historical artworks in the chapel.
