This is the twenty-seventh of the twenty-eight scenes (twenty-five of which were painted by Giotto) of Legend of Saint Francis.
The fresco cycle in the Upper Church of the San Francesco at Assisi depicting the Legend of St Francis consists of 28 scenes. Although it is debated, the cycle is generally attributed to Giotto and collaborators. However, Giotto's authorship of the closing scenes in the last bay of the nave (Nos. 26-26) are denied and these scenes are usually attributed to the St Cecilia Master.
