The Allegory of Mercy at the Misericordia in Florence: Historiography, Context, Iconography, and the Documentation of Confraternal Charity in the Trecento - Brossura
Scholars of Italian art often overlook the mid-fourteenth-century Allegory of Mercy fresco inside the former headquarters of the Company of Santa Maria dell Misercordia, located in the heart of Florence. In The Allegory of Mercy at the Misericordia in Florence, author William R. Levin provides the first complete analysis of the fresco, one of the richest artworks of its era in what it reveals about the society that engendered it and the organization that commissioned it.
Intended as both didactic and inspirational, the Allegory of Mercy illustrates that the Misercordia provided a host of services to needy Florentines from as early as the Trecento, offering members and benefactors the opportunity to aid their neighbors while ensuring salvation for themselves.
