Giotto di Bondone: Die Grablegung Mariae, um 1310
The idea of placing large paintings behind the altars to decorate churches was a consequence of the Lateran Council of 1215. Two saints frequently appear in works in the Gemäldegalerie: Francis of Assisi and Elizabeth of Thuringia. As prominent figures of this period, they provide insight into the era.
