Art restorers have discovered the figure of a devil hidden in the
clouds of one of the most famous frescos by Giotto in the Basilica of St
Francis in Assisi, church officials said on Saturday.
The devil was hidden in the details of clouds at the top of fresco
number 20 in the cycle of the scenes in the life and death of St Francis
painted by Giotto in the 13th century.
The discovery was made by Italian art historian Chiara Frugone. It
shows a profile of a figure with a hooked nose, a sly smile, and dark
horns hidden among the clouds in the panel of the scene depicting the
death of St Francis.
The figure is difficult to see from the floor of the basilica but
emerges clearly in close-up photography.
Sergio Fusetti, the chief restorer of the basilica, said Giotto
probably never wanted the image of the devil to be a main part of the
fresco and may have painted it in among the clouds "to have a bit of
fun."
The master may have painted it to spite someone he knew by portraying
him as a devil in the painting, Fusetti said on the convent's website.
The artwork in the basilica in the convent where St Francis is
buried was last restored after it was severely damaged by an earthquake
in 1997. | r****o
