The Apostles
Luca Signorelli (c.1450-1523)
Choir of The Apostles (1499-1502)
Orvieto, Cathedral, Chapel of San Brizio
Fra Angelico started the decoration of the vault in 1447, painting only two sections. Perugino was asked to resume the work in 1489, but he never began. After being abandoned for almost 50 years the decoration of the rest of the vault was awarded to Signorelli on 5 April 1499. He added scenes with the Choir of the Apostles, of the Doctors, of the Martyrs, Virgins and Patriarchs.
