This watercolor is a 1872 copy of an old fresco by Benozzo Gozzoli. It shows a scene from the life of Saint Francis and was made in England long after the original was painted. The copy was never published, even though it was ordered by a group that loved old art. It sits now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Check out the original fresco cycle by Benozzo Gozzoli.
