Wall paintings

1504-06
Fresco
Sant'Onofrio, Rome

The Mary cycle painted by the Sienese artist Baldassare Peruzzi in the apse at Sant'Onofria in Rome is based on Filippo Lippi's work in Spoleto. However, due to an overemphasis on the division into compartments, the sense of a unified space is wholly absent here.
