Treasury of San Francesco

Isaiah (ca. 1272)

This panel, which is attributed to the Maestro di San Francesco, belonged to a large double-sided polyptych that was originally on the high altar of San Francesco al Prato, Perugia.

For a description of the polyptych, see the page on the Galleria Nazionale, Perugia (Room 1, exhibit 5).

Gilded silver chalice (ca. 1290)

The inscription names the donor as Pope Nicholas IV and the artist as the Sienese Guccio di Mannaia.  A portrait of the Pope is included among the enamels around the base.   This important gift to the friars was included in all of the inventories that survive from San Francesco, the earliest of which dates to 1370.  The inventory of 1430 mentions a related paten with an enamel of the Last Supper, but this has been lost.

Stained glass panels (1481)

Bishop Jacopo Vannucci  commissioned Bartolomeo Caporali to design the stained glass windows of the Cappella di Sant' Onofrio in the right transept of the Duomo, Perugia.  The window was dismantled in 1765.  The surviving panes exhibited here depict  the Madonna and Child and SS Jerome, Humphrey (Onofrio) and Lawrence.
