- Title
The Trecento tomb of the Beata Chiara Ubaldini reconsidered.
- Authors
Davies, Glyn
- Abstract
The article offers information on the tomb of the Beata Chiara Ubaldini, which is being reconsidered after evidence of some of its composition have been discovered in Italy. It states that the absence of the evidence of the tomb was caused by the destruction of the church where it was housed in 1527. It cites that huge fragment of the tomb was located by John Pope-Hennessy in 1949 at the Albert Museum in Victoria, wherein it was identified as that of Beata Chiara Ubaldini, a Clarissan abbess of the convent of Monticelli. The fragment is decorated with a colonnaded arcade that contains eight trefoil-headed arches.
