Suardi Chapel, Renaissance fresco cycle in Suardi Oratory, Trescore Balneario, Italy.
The walls of the Suardi Oratory display a series of connected frescoes depicting saints, biblical figures, and metaphorical scenes against detailed landscape backgrounds.
Count Giovan Battista Suardi commissioned artist Lorenzo Lotto to paint these frescoes in 1524, during a period of religious transformation in Europe.
The frescoes portray the lives of Saint Barbara, Saint Bridget of Ireland, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and Saint Clara through sequential narrative scenes.
Visitors can schedule guided tours of the Suardi Oratory from March to November, with appointments required for both individual and group visits.
The frescoes include illustrations of vintners falling from ladders, representing heretics, with their names inscribed directly on their depicted bodies.
