Incoronazione della Vergine, Evangelisti, Dottori e Sibille
The celebrated painter from Umbria frescoed the vaulted ceiling of the choir that, just a few years before, had been restored by Bramante. In a perfect geometrical work of octagons, ovals, aediculas, grotesques, the central image depicts the Virgin crowned by Christ and surrounded by figures that celebrate the history of the Church, from prophecies (Sybils), to the testimony of those who lived closely with Jesus (Evangelists), up to the great theologians (Doctors).
