Christopher Wood’s book The Embedded Portrait connects a Chapter House Crucifixion at this complex with the earlier painter Giottino. Until it was bought by the Santa Maria Novella, this complex housed a Last Supper with a signature reading “pray for the paintress.” Plautilla Nelli spent her career at this complex, where she admired an artist who painted a stark black profile portrait of Girolamo Savonarola. Michelozzo (“mee-kell-OTTS-oh”) rebuilt this complex, which titles a sacra conversazione commissioned by Cosimo de’ Medici with a predella depicting the story of Cosmas and Damian. A daily prayer reminder appears in a fresco at this convent in which a garden is shown left of the Corinthian columns and arches of a loggia that frame the multicolored wings of Gabriel.
