The Tavola
of Clare of Assisi


The story of Clare of Assisi was painted on wood soon after her death by the "Master of Santa Chiara" (1283),
and now hangs in the Basilica of Santa Chiara in the Umbrian town of Assisi.
Her image is flanked by eight episodes from her life, starting from the bottom left clockwise.
