English abstract
The author reconstructs a lost wall fresco by the painter Guariento through a close analysis of six fragments dispersed between Padua, Pavia and Innsbruck, and hitherto neglected descriptions of their original setting, the Dominican church of Sant’ Agostino, Padua. The fragments did not belong to the tomb lunette of the Paduan ruler, Jacopo II da Carrara (died 1351), or the inner wall of his funerary chapel as previously argued, but were located on the triumphal arch above the high altar, forming a large Paradise with a cohort of angels and the two devotees, Jacopo and his brother Ubertino.
