View of the frescoes in the left transept

by CIMABUE, Fresco

In the bottom register of the frescoes in the left transept the Crucifixion can be seen. The ruined lunette fresco above may have represented Christ in Glory. The angels seen behind the arcade are in a better condition than the larger frescoes and give a better sense of Cimabue’s colour palette in fresco. The ruined scene to the right of the Crucifixion is the Vision of the Throne and the Book of Seven Seals, an unusual scene based on the New Testament Book of Revelations.
