Frescoes on the Rood Screen of San Maurizio

The rood screen (dividing wall) behind the altar in the front hall, or Hall of the Faithful (Aula dei fedeli), is decorated with frescoes painted by Bernardino Luini probably around the time of construction of the church. At the top level, from left, the Martyrdom of St Maurizio, the Assumption of the Virgin, and St Sigismund Presenting St Maurice with the Church.
