Remember, the answer is always Giotto. When in doubt, just say Giotto. It worked for Kaitlin when we were looking at the Lamentation of Luca Signorelli in the Museo Dioclesano. Who did the first Lamentation with strong emotions portrayed in it? -- Giotto.

Minerva, the goddess of war, was the patron of Domitian. He had a shrine for her in the palace, dedicated at least two temples to her in Rome and, beginning in 83, he used her image on what would seem to be the majority of his coins. The emperor declared himself to be the son of Minerva, and the relationship between them is a recurring theme of Martial’s epigrams. The poet Statius, who was a firsthand observer in the reign of Domitian, even describes the emperor as wearing a toga that Minerva had woven for him. His patronage of Minerva can be understood in the context of the Flavian dynasty, whose members took pride in their success in war: Vespasian had emerged triumphant in the Civil War of A.D. 68-69, Titus was victorious against the Jews, and Domitian – whose resentment and inferiority complex made him eager to exceed his father and brother – launched campaigns against Germans, Dacians, Sarmatians and other foes. In all he accepted twenty-three Imperial salutations – more than Augustus himself, and he staged at least two triumphal processions. On most of Domitian’s coins Minerva is shown standing in what Carson identifies as four distinct varieties. Sometimes she holds only a spear (as on this coin), or a spear and thunderbolt, but more commonly she holds both a shield and a spear. Other times she rests a foot on a ship’s prow and is accompanied by an owl. In this case we have a more personalized approach. It need not surprise us that her features are modeled on Domitian’s, though we may describe Minerva’s as Classicised and Domitian’s as realistic. Identifying the differences is a worthwhile exercise: Minerva’s chin is rounded, her mouth softly modeled, and there is no natural contour to her profile at the point where the forehead meets the bridge of the nose.

The Great Cloister (Chiostro Grande) at the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore is famous for its magnificent fresco cycle detailing the life of St. Benedict.
These Renaissance paintings, executed by two prominent artists, Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi (known as "il Sodoma"), cover the entire surface of the portico walls. The cycle was intended to provide a constant source of inspiration and guidance for the monks, depicting the virtues and miracles of their order's founder.
Bazzi started the work in 1497 and il Sodoma completed it in 1508.

Room of Heliodorus
This room was originally used for the private audiences of the Pope and was decorated by Raphael immediately after the Segnatura. The room's programme is political and aims at documenting, in different historical moments from the Old Testament to medieval history, the miraculous protection bestowed by God on the Church. Faith had been threatened (Mass of Bolsena), in the person of its pontiff (Liberation of St Peter), in its site (Encounter of Leo the Great with Attila) and in its patrimony (Expulsion of Heliodorus from the temple). These were also chosen to express the political programme of Julius II (pontiff from 1503 to 1513), aimed at freeing Italy, at the time occupied by the French, to restore the temporal power under threat to the papacy. The four episodes of the Old Testament on the ceiling are the work of Raphael, while in the grotesques and in the arches there are still some parts that can be attributed to Luca Signorelli, Bramantino, Lorenzo Lotto and Cesare da Sesto. They date to the first decoration commissioned by Julius II at the beginning of his pontificate, that was interrupted and then replaced by the present one due to the pontiff's great admiration for the first frescoes of Raphael in the adjoining room of the Segnatura.
