Image description

Arbor Vitae. The painting was originally housed in a convent of Clarissa nuns in Florence. According to the Apocalypse, this Tree represents Salvation and offers gifts to humankind, depicted as fruits alongside the twelve branches. The scenes in the roundels hanging from the branches represent episodes of Christ’s life, his Passion and Glory. The tree is rooted in the Garden of Eden at the very bottom, where scenes from Genesis about Creation and Adam and Eve’s life play out. The four figures seated or kneeling at the base of the cross are, from left to right, Moses, St. Francis, St. Claire, and St. John the Evangelist. Up above in the cusp the celestial court of Heaven, with Enthroned Christ and the Virgin Mary, is surrounded by red angels, saints and prophets. Between Heaven and the cross is a pelican piercing its breast to feed its young with blood: it represents a symbol of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of mankind.
