Affreschi tardo gotici nella chiesa di San Bernardino ad Ivrea

Affreschi tardo gotici nella chiesa e nel chiostro di San Bernardino ad Ivrea

Justly renowned for the frescoes by Giovanni Martino Spanzotti, the church of San Bernardino in Ivrea contains fragments of late Gothic wall paintings that have received little attention from critics. Other paintings, badly damaged, are located in a wing of the cloister of the ancient convent that flanked the church. This article reviews these paintings and seeks to offer some iconographic insights, especially for the benefit of the many people who visit the church every year.
