With vivid brushstrokes, they remind us of our mortality while exploring themes of sin, redemption, and salvation. In the St. John the Baptist Chapel at Genoa's Duomo (St Lawrence Cathedral), we encounter "The Ark of Relics. " Here, amidst detailed scenes depicting St. John's beheading lies an intense portrayal by an unknown artist.

Moving to Montefalco, we are captivated by "Capture of Christ, " painted by Master of the right apse of St Francis.
