Legend of St Brigid (detail)
by LOTTO, Lorenzo, Fresco
The detail shows the Miracle of the Garb. The narrative of the deeds of Brigid begins next to the apse with her entry into the order. During the ceremony of assuming her garb before the altar, the wood on the altar steps begins to sprout new growth when Brigid touches it. Portraits of the Suardi family appear as witnesses of the miracle.
An apparent gap in the wall offers a view of Brigid distributing alms in the form of food.
