The refectory
of the convent of Ognissanti is famous for the large
fresco painted in 1488 by Domenico Ghirlandaio. Besides
the Last Supper fresco and its sinopia, the refectory
also preserves a fine doorway and a lavabo, both dated
1488, and an Annunciation of the early 15th century.
In the adjacent church are two other fine frescoes by
Ghirlandaio: St Jerome (1480) and an early work by the
artist representing the Madonna of Mercy with the Deposition
of Christ, which were painted for the Vespucci family.
The cloister leading to the refectory has frescoes of
the Life of St Francis dating from the early 17th century
by Florentine artists, including Jacopo Ligozzi and
Giovanni da San Giovanni.
