Allegory of Chastity fresco by Giotto (c.1330) in the Lower Church. Chastity presides over the scene from a well-fortified convent. In order to reach her, a long path must be followed. The representatives of the three divisions of the Franciscan order (a lay brother, a Franciscan and aClare) have climbed the hill. They will be washed and dressed by angels. On the other side, bizarre figures of allegorical demons are being cast into the abyss. Source: Web Gallery of Art.
