# The Funeral of St Lucy \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ALTICHIERO da Zevio]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary In the scene of The Funeral of St Lucy the backdrop is a lavishly designed sacred building - the church that was erected over the tomb of the saint, according to the Golden Legend. Numerous citizens dressed in contemporary garb are present at the funeral ceremony, and some of their faced have unmistakably portrait-like features. This applies particularly to the figures in the left half of the image, among whom Giovanni de' Lupi, the brother of Bonifacio, and Giovanni Dondi, the famous doctor who was an intimate friend of Petrarch, are to be recognized. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Crucifixion \(detail\)]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Façade of the Oratory]() - [King Ramiro Summons the Crown Council]() - [Scenes from the Life of St James]() - [Scenes on the entry wall]() - [St George Baptizes the King and His Family \(detail\)]() - [St George Slays the Dragon]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
