Dominican monastery and crucifix fresco, Bolzano
The Dominican monastery in Bolzano in Italy is built in the early fourteenth century; it remained an important spiritual and cultural centre for the town until it was dissolved by the emperor Joseph II in 1785. The cloister still preserves remains of decorative art from three periods like the fragmentary fresco of a crucifix from the 14th century, having been damaged during work to build the late gothic style arched ceiling to replace the earlier flat ceiling.
