Detail from the Ceiling of the Chapel of Eleonora, This work is a small detail from a ceiling fresco of four saints. The oval composition is divided into four parts, so that two vertically opposite sides are smaller than the other two vertically opposite sides. Each saint is flanked by putti, or nude winged infants, holding onto stalks of fruit. This image is a detail of one of the puttoi, who is situated with Saint Francis on his right side and Saint Jerome on his left. The composition is done in a Baroque or early Baroque style due to the energetic and vibrant quality of the body and the bright colors used. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending.
