Communion and Consecration of Santa Francesca Romana, c1445. Francesca (1384-1440) was a Roman abbess famous for her mystical visions, of which she left a written account. This panel, together with three others , probably framed a portrait of her placed at her tomb in the church of Santa Maria Nova near the Roman Forum. The painting, which stood behind a small altar, was executed most likely in 1445, when the case of the mystic's canonization was presented before the pope.
