The Basilica of St.Francis and the Assisi Frescoes Book

Commisissioned in 1228 by Pope Gregorio IX and consecrated in 1258, the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi houses a fresco cycle. Covering the entire interior of the building, these works were painted between 1250 and 1310 by Medieval and Gothic artists including Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti. The history of the Basilica is recounted in this book, from the commission and construction of the building and the painting of the frescoes, to its current significance as home to the grave of St Francis. Beginning with a brief biographical portrait of St Francis, to whom the Basilica is dedicated, the book then analyzes the frescoes themselves. It traces the history of the Basilica through the ages, showing how the interior has been modified since its construction, and concludinng with a look at the Basilica today.Read More
