Vault: “Cherub on amphora riding waves”

Barberini
“Madonna Adoring the Child with an
Angel” late 1400s
by Gherardo di Giovanni di Miniato (about
1445/97)
“Gherardo di
Giovanni, who worked at the Medici court, was a painter, illustrator and
musician. His interest in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, a friend of his,
is reflected in the atmospheric effects of landscape and in the figure of the
angel of the Madonna adoring the child. To a Nordic influence is owed a taste
for details, like the Gothic church symbolically placed at the perspectival
center of the composition” (Official website of the Barberini Gallery - www.galleriabarberini.beniculturali.it)
“Crucifixion”
early 1500s by Girolamo di Benvenuto (about
1470/1524) from Siena
“Madonna
and Child with Sts. Peter and Paul” by Vincenzo
di Antonio Frediani (active 1481/1505) from Lucca
