ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO
(b. 1423, Castagno, d. 1457, Firenze)

Christ in the Sepulchre with Two Angels (synopia)

1447
Fresco
Sant'Apollonia, Florence

The splendid synopias which were discovered when the frescoes in the refectory of the Sant'Apollonia were detached from the walls are today on exhibit alongside the frescoes themselves. They confirm the opinion that Andrea was a quick and lively artist who drew with ease.
