San Francesco, Brescia

The cloister of the adjacent Convent, designed by Guglielmo da Frisone, was completed in 1394.

In the 14th century, it is likely the entire walls and ceilings were frescoed, but the creation of chapels and other restorations covered much of this work except for traces behind the 2nd and third altars.

On the right, the chapel dedicated to St Jerome has decorative sculpture (1506) by Gasparo da Coirano.

[1] Other internal decoration was by Ottavio Viviani, Pietro Ricchi (il Lucchese), and Gian Giacomo Barbello.

[2] The Franciscan order's residence in the monastery was suppressed during Napoleonic rule, only for them to return later in the 19th century.
