The Avignon Chapel of Saint John 2, attributed to the Italian painter Matteo Giovannetti, stands as a significant example of 14th-century Gothic fresco painting. Matteo Giovannetti, born in Viterbo around 1322, was a prominent artist of the Avignon Papacy, a period when the papal seat was relocated from Rome to Avignon, France. His work in the chapel is a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and France during this era.

Giovannetti was summoned to Avignon by Pope Clement VI, who reigned from 1342 to 1352, to contribute to the decoration of the papal palace. The Chapel of Saint John 2, located within the Palais des Papes, is one of the key projects undertaken by Giovannetti during his time in Avignon. The chapel is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist, and its frescoes vividly depict scenes from their lives, showcasing Giovannetti's mastery in narrative composition and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art.

The frescoes in the Chapel of Saint John 2 are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate details, and the use of perspective, which was innovative for the time. Giovannetti's style reflects the influence of both the Sienese and Florentine schools of painting, blending the delicate elegance of the former with the more robust and dynamic qualities of the latter. His work in the chapel not only served a devotional purpose but also demonstrated the power and prestige of the Avignon Papacy.

The frescoes have undergone various restoration efforts over the centuries to preserve their original splendor. Today, they continue to attract scholars and art enthusiasts who seek to understand the artistic and historical significance of Giovannetti's contributions to the Gothic art movement. The Chapel of Saint John 2 remains a crucial piece of the cultural heritage of Avignon, offering insight into the artistic endeavors that flourished under the patronage of the papal court.
