This fresco shows the Madonna and Child, St. Catherine, St. Ursula, St. George and the donor, Teodorico from Chur, Switzerland. The fresco is signed by Simone da Corbetta and comes from an outside wall of Santa Maria dei Servi, formerly located in today’s Corso Vittorio Emanuele and demolished in the early 19th century to build the church of San Carlo. It is a devotional fresco of unexceptional quality in a style that precedes the international Gothic but is closely linked to the history of Milan.
