The Cenacolo di Sant’Apollonia houses one of Florence’s unique Last Supper paintings, in this case in the refectory of the Benedictine monastery of St. Apollonia, the biggest women’s monastery of Florence, founded in 1339 not far from the Convent of San Marco. An entire wall of the refectory was frescoed by Andrea del Castagno in 1447. The bottom part of the wall features the Last Supper: the scene unfolds in a richly decorated setting, where every architectural element is looked after to its finest detail. The perspective layout is rigorous, enhanced by the geometric effect of the floor and ceiling lines. Above, the Resurrection, Crucifixion and Deposition in the Sepulchre are depicted. In 1953, this upper section was detached for preservation reasons and the sinopias (preparatory drawings) were uncovered and now are displayed on the opposite side of the hall. Some other works by Andrea del Castagno painted around the mid-15th century are also exhibited: a frescoed lunette (and its sinopia) of Christ Pietà with angels, a Crucifixion and the sinopia of the Vision of St. Jerome. On the south wall of the hall, there is the Crucifix by Baccio da Montelupo. Other 15th century works coming from the former monastery are displayed in the ante-refectory.
