## Commentary

The articles of faith in the Creed is the subject of the ceiling frescoes of the Baptistery in Siena \(1450–53\), which revert to an ostensibly miniaturist precision of placement, but cleaning has revealed that the brushwork was carried out with remarkable freedom. Tawny russet hues predominate.
