He produced a number of frescoes in Florence and Pisa, besides numerous panel paintings, but until his death in 1366 he was mainly active in Santa Croce, the Franciscan monastery in Florence, and his house and workshop were nearby. His late works, from around 1360, include the fresco of the Crucifixion in the sacristy and the ensemble of paintings grouped around a Tree of Life \(Arbor vitae\) in the refectory of Santa Croce. The picture shows the interior of the refectory in Santa Croce in Florence. The frescoes were commissioned by the woman in the garments of a Franciscan tertiary kneeling at the foot of the cross, behind St Francis. At the right are the Priest at his Easter Meal Receiving Word of St Benedict's Hunger in the Wilderness, and the Magdalen Washing the Feet of Christ. At the left are the Stigmatisation of St Francis and St Louis of Toulouse Feeding the Poor and Sick of Toulouse. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Allegory of the Cross]() - [Annunciation to the Shepherds]() - [Assumption of St John the Evangelist]() - [Crucifix]() - [Crucifixion]() - [David]() - [Entombment]() - [Expulsion of Joachim from the Temple]() - [Isaiah]() - [Joachim and Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate]() - [Last Supper, Tree of Life and Four Miracle Scenes]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
