one of several frescoes depicting portals holding a central figure, surrounded by ornamentation, in the Chapel of S. Brizio: Orvieto Cathedral. By Luca Signorelli and/or his assistants.
"This chapel was a fifteenth-century addition to the cathedral. It is almost identical in structure to the Chapel of the Corporal. The construction of this chapel (also known as the Cappella Nuova and Signorelli chapel) was started in 1408 and completed in 1444. It is closed off from the rest of the cathedral by two wrought iron gates. The first one closes off the right arm of the transept. It was signed by the Sienese master Conte di lello Orlandi (1337). The second gate stands at the entrance of the chapel and is of a much later date. It was signed by master Gismondo da Orvieto (1516).
"Originally called the Cappella Nuova, or New Chapel, in 1622 this chapel was dedicated to Saint Britius (San Brizio), one of the first bishops of Spoleto and Foligno, who evangelized the people of Orvieto. Legend says that he left them a panel of the Madonna della Tavola, a Madonna enthroned with Child and Angels. This painting is from an anonymous late 13th-century master from Orvieto, who was probably influenced by Cimabue and Coppo di Marcovaldo. The face of the Child is a restoration from the 14th century. This panel stands on the late-Baroque altar of the Gloria, dating from 1715 and made by Bernardino Cametti.
"Fra Angelico and Benozzo Gozzoli began the decoration of the vault of the chapel in 1447. They painted only two sections: Christ in Judgment and Angels and Prophets as they were summoned in the same year to the Vatican by Pope Nicholas V to paint the Niccoline Chapel. Work came to a halt until Perugino was approached in 1489. However, he never began. After being abandoned for about 50 years, the decoration of the rest of the vault was awarded to Luca Signorelli on 5 April 1499. He added the scenes with the Choir of the Apostles, of the Doctors, of the Martyrs, Virgins and Patriarchs.
"His work pleased the board and they assigned him to paint frescoes in the large lunettes of the walls of the chapel. Work began in 1500 and was completed in 1503. (There was a break in 1502 because funds were lacking.) These frescoes in the chapel are considered the most complex and impressive work by Signorelli. He and his school spent two years creating a series of frescoes concerning the Apocalypse and the Last Judgment, starting with the Preaching of the Antichrist, continuing with tumultuous episodes of the End of the World, finding a counterpart in the Resurrection of the Flesh. The fourth scene is a frightening depiction of the Damned taken to Hell and received by Demons. On the wall behind the altar, Signorelli depicts on the left side the Elect being led to Paradise and on the right side the Reprobates driven to Hell. He added to these expressive scenes some striking details.
• The Preaching of the Antichrist was painted shortly after the trial on charges of heresy and execution of the Observant Dominican friar, Giralamo Savonarola in Florence on 23 May 1498. The Antichirst is depicted under the influence of the incarnated angel named Satan who suggests him what to say, while touching his rib cage. The analogy of the Antichrist sowing discord by preaching slander and calumny, would not have been lost on late 15th-century viewers. To underscore the contemporary analogy, at lower right, Signorelli includes recognizable portraits of the young Raphael, in a striking pose; Dante; possibly Christopher Columbus; Boccaccio; Petrarch; and Cesare Borgia, and, on the left, he depicts himself, dressed in noble garments, and Fra Angelico, in his Dominican habit.
• In the left background the Antichrist is expelled from heavens by the archangel Michael, and his acolytes killed by a rain of fire. In the right background he depicts a large, domed temple in the Renaissance style.
• 'The End of the World' is painted over the arch of the entrance to the chapel. Signorelli paints frightening scenes as cities collapse in ruins and people flee under darkened skies. On the right side below he shows the Sibyl with her book of prophesies, and King David with raised hand predicting the end of the world. In the left corner below, people are scrambling and lying in diverse positions on the ground, producing an illusion as if falling out of the painting. This successful attempt in foreshortening was striking in its day.
• 'The Resurrection of the Flesh' is a study by Signorelli, exploring the possibilities of the male and female nude, while trying to recreate a three-dimensional setting. Signorelli shows his mastery in depicting the many positions of the human body. The risen, brought back to life, are crawling in an extreme effort from under the earth and are received by two angels in the sky blowing on a trumpet.
• 'The Damned are taken to Hell' and received by Demons is in stark contrast to the previous one. Signorelli has gone to the extremes of his fantasy and evocative powers to portray his cataclysmic vision of the horrible fate, the agony and the despair of the damned. He uses the naked human body as his only expressive element, showing the isolated bodies entangling each other, merging in a convoluted mass. They are overpowered by demons in near-human form, depicted in colours of every shade of decomposing flesh. Above them, a flying demon transports a woman. This is probably a depiction of the Whore of the Apocalypse.
• 'The Elect in Paradise' shows the elect in ecstasy looking up to music-making angels. The few extant drawings, made in preparation for this fresco, are kept in the Uffizi in Florence. They show each figure in various positions, indicating that Signorelli must have used real models in the nude to portray his figures.
"Below this are smaller paintings of famous writers and philosophers watching the unfolding disaster above them with interest. Legend states that the writers depicted here are Homer, Empedocles, Lucan, Horace, Ovid, Virgil, and Dante, but the identifications are disputed by modern scholars. Several small-scale grisaille medallions depicting images from their works, including the first eleven books of Dante's Purgatorio, Orpheus, Hercules, and various scenes from Ovid and Virgil, among others.
"In a niche in the lower wall is shown a Pietà that contains explicit references to two important Orvietan martyr saints, S. Pietro Parenzo (podestà of Orvieto in 1199) and S. Faustino. They stand next to the dead Christ, along with Mary Magdalen and the Virgin Mary. The figure of the dead Christ, according to Giorgio Vasari, is the image of Signorelli's son Antonio, who died from the plague during the course of the execution of the paintings. This fresco was Signorelli's last work in the chapel. But Tom Henry in his book "The Life and Art of Luca Signorelli" (Yale University Press, 2012) states that Vasari's story is not correct: "Signorelli had two sons, Antonio and Tomasso. Tomasso outlived his father and Antonio was alive when this Lamentation was delivered in February 1502, dying a few months later in July 1502." (Preface, p. xiii)"

The detail shows the lower right part of the fresco.
In the right section of the Apocalypse Luca Signorelli describes the first signs of the Apocalypse, which has been the object of prophecies since earliest times. In the foreground, in the lower part of the painting, he has shown King David and the Sibyl, as witnesses of Dies Irae. The stars go pale, fires and earthquakes sweep the earth, war and murder spread throughout the world.

detail from Luca Signorelli's fresco - Damned taken to Hell and Received by Demons - part of the Last Judgment frescoes (1500-1503) in the S. Brizia Chapel of the Orvieto Cathedral
Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche Dornbirn-St. Martin (auch: Marktkirche oder Pfarrkirche Dornbirn-Markt) steht im zentralen Stadtteil Markt in der Gemeinde Dornbirn im Bezirk Dornbirn in Vorarlberg. Sie ist dem heiligen Martin geweiht und gehört zum Dekanat Dornbirn in der Diözese Feldkirch. Das Bauwerk steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Lagebeschreibung
Die Kirche steht im zentralen Stadtteil Markt am Marktplatz.
Geschichte
Skizze der Architekten Schöch und Kornberger zum projektierten aber nicht ausgeführten Umbau 1901
Mit dem Jahre 1266 ist ein Pfarrer nachweisbar und mit dem Jahre 1401 ist eine Kirche beurkundet. Nach einem Brand wurde die Kirche in den Jahren 1669 bis 1670 vergrößert und barockisiert. In den Jahren 1751 bis 1753 wurde ein Neubau nach den Plänen von Kaspar Koller errichtet. In den Jahren 1839 bis 1840 erfolgte wieder der heutige Neubau nach den Plänen von Martin von Kink und Weihe im Jahre 1857. Von 1967 bis 1969 erfolgte eine Innenrestaurierung und Umgestaltung unter Architekt Emil Steffan.
Der ursprünglich um die Kirche liegende Friedhof wurde 1842, anlässlich des Neubaus der Kirche etwa 300 Meter Luftlinie östlich neben dem Rathaus neu errichtet, wo er noch heute besteht. Der bisherige "alte" Friedhof wurde aufgelassen und teilweise mit Bäumen bepflanzt und ist heute ein Teil des sogenannten Martinspark. 1854 wurde beim alten Friedhof vom damaligen Pfarrer ein Missionskreuz errichtet.
Architektur
Kirchenäußeres
Die Kirche mit mächtigem Saalbau und Rundchor unter einem Satteldach besitzt an der Hauptgiebelfassade einen Säulenportikus über die gesamte Breite und hat nördlich einen freistehenden Kirchturm mit Giebelspitzhelm. An der Eingangswand über den drei Portalen ist ein Fresko Christus der Weltenrichter, davon links Einzug der Krieger in den Himmel mit Heiligen Martin und Maria und rechts die Kirchenlehrer Augustinus, Hieronymus und Chrystostomus und die Dichter Dante und Milton und Künstler Michelangelo, Dürer, Rubens, Signorelli und oben Kampf der bösen Geister ist vom Maler Josef Huber aus dem Jahre 1923. Im Giebelfeld des Portikus ist ein Mosaik Einzug Jesu in Jerusalem von Josef Huber aus 1924.
Kircheninneres
Im Inneren befindet sich an der Decke ein Fresko Anbetung der Könige und Hirten, mit Vertretern des Alten und Neuen Testamentes aus 1849 vom Maler Johann Kaspar Rick. Weiters Fresken stammen von Franz Plattner aus den Jahren 1876 bis 1877.
Ausstattung
Der Volksaltar und der Taufstein sind vom Bildhauer Herbert Albrecht aus dem Jahre 1969.
