Chiostro Verde, Medieval cloister in Florence, Italy.
The walls of Chiostro Verde feature a collection of frescoes painted in green earth tones, creating a continuous narrative within the covered walkways of Santa Maria Novella.
Paolo Uccello executed a series of frescoes depicting scenes from the Book of Genesis between 1425 and 1430, demonstrating early Renaissance painting techniques.
The cloister represents a fusion of religious and artistic elements through its architectural design and decorative program within the Dominican complex.
The entrance to Chiostro Verde is through the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, with guided tours available during regular opening hours from Monday to Saturday.
The monochromatic green terraverde technique used in the frescoes creates an unusual visual effect that distinguishes this cloister from others in Florence.
