DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The frescoes in the Bichi Chapel, thanks to the expertise of Francesco di Giorgio—a multifaceted artist who also practiced engraving, sculpture, painting, and architecture—achieve a high quality of line and a striking rendering of perspective.
The chiaroscuro of monochrome, a technique particularly used during the Renaissance, usually for decorative sections, is enlivened here by the Sienese artist with the insertion of points of light thanks to the gold in the halos of the sacred figures.
