Green Cloister
Green Cloister – Scenes from the Life of Noah are a pair of frescoes painted in 1436–1440 by Paolo Uccello in the Chiostro Verde of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Like the other frescoes in that cloister, they deal with stories from the Book of Genesis and are painted in monochrome tempera with terra verde as pigment, that referred to the authority of antique bronze sculpture, and gave the cloister its name.
