Frescoes in the Cappella Niccolina of the Palazzi Pontifici in Vatican (1447-49): Frescoes on the north wall of the Cappella Niccolina

Frescoes in the Cappella Niccolina of the Palazzi Pontifici in Vatican (1447-49)

COMMENTARY

The cycles continue on the north wall. In the lunette St Stephen is seen preaching on the left, and on the right engaged in the dispute with the Jews that had led to his condemnation. In the bottom register on the left, St Sixtus is entrusting the church treasure to Lawrence, while in the right-hand compartment St Lawrence is distributing alms (the corresponding motif from the life of St Stephen appears on the west wall).
