The High Altar of the Basilica of Holy Cross

L'Altare Maggiore e l'abside della Basilica di Santa Croce a Firenze

The High Altar and the apse of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence.
Some time ago I posted a very similar photo of the beautiful Florentine basilica, but which only portrayed the altar.
In this shot, however, you can see the entire apse of Santa Croce with all its wonderful works of art!

The designs for the stained glass windows are also by Agnolo Gaddi, except for the highest oculi, which are older. The painted cross is by the Maestro di Figline, while the polyptych of the high altar is the result of a recomposition: the Madonna in the center is by Niccolò Gerini, while the Doctors of the Church are by Giovanni del Biondo and another unknown painter.

L'Altare Maggiore della Basilica di Santa Croce a Firenze

The High Altar of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence.
In the church perhaps richest in works of art in Florence I want to point out the beautiful altar of the Cappella Maggiore.
This is the true art that can only be found in Italy.
