Current Exhibition
The current exhibition at the Museum of Mural Painting includes a variety of significant works. These include sepulchral insignia and fragments recovered from the cloister of San Domenico, dating back to the end of the 14th-15th century. A notable highlight is the valuable tabernacle featuring the Madonna, the Child, angels, and saints, frescoed by Niccolò Gerini in 1391. This was commissioned by the merchant Francesco Datini. The exhibition also includes the sinopie of the imposing Tabernacle of Figline by Agnolo Gaddi and his workshop, and a fresco with a fake polyptych by Pietro di Miniato from 1411.
