Scenes from the Life of St James

Fresco
Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Padua

The Cappella di S. Giacomo in the transept of the Basilica di Sant'Antonio was built by the Venetian sculptor and architect Andriolo de'Santi in 1372-76, and it was decorated by Altichiero da Zevio and his workshop.

On the west wall above the choir stall, three consecutive scenes depict the Dream of King Ramirez, the Meeting of the Council, and the Battle of Clavijo.
