The High Altar and the apse of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence.
Some time ago I posted a very similar photo of the beautiful Florentine basilica, but which only portrayed the altar.
In this shot, however, you can see the entire apse of Santa Croce with all its wonderful works of art!

The designs for the stained glass windows are also by Agnolo Gaddi, except for the highest oculi, which are older. The painted cross is by the Maestro di Figline, while the polyptych of the high altar is the result of a recomposition: the Madonna in the center is by Niccolò Gerini, while the Doctors of the Church are by Giovanni del Biondo and another unknown painter.
