Gere ‘The Lawerence-Phillipps-Rosenbach Zuccaro Album’ in Master Drawings, 8, 1970, p. 137\r\n\r\nThe arms over the left door are those of Pope Pius V (Ghislieri), who reigned 1566-72. The shield over the right door is blank and surmounted by a mitre and two crosiers. The saints in the niches above the doors are Peter and Paul. The figures in the spandrels of the arch are evidently prophets, each receiving a message from an angel. The picture on the left wall of the chapel shows the Flight into Egypt. The right hand picture probably represents the angel warning Jospeh to flee. The picture over the altar is of man blessing. The painting in the semidome shows six kneeling angels worshipping God and the Holy Ghost.\r\n\nThe drawing was formerly attributed to Frederico Zuccaro, but wrongly. Another version of the upper part of the design, ahowing the semidome and the spandrels, is in the Albertine, Vienna, also wrongly ascribed to Federico (inv. No. 608; Albertina Catalogue, 3, no. 260).\r\nPhilip Pouncey has discovered other drawings by the same hand, notably: (1) in the British Museum, 4 drawings of the Four Evangelists in niches, writing on tables inscribed in a later hand ‘Cesare Nebbia’ (inv. Nos. 5227. 35 to 38); (2) in the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich, a drawing showing the Descent of the Holy Spirit, inscribed in an old hand ‘Marco da Sena’ (ie Marco Pino: inv. No. 2278).\r\n\nAt one time it seemed that a design for the painting of the dome of St Peter’s belonged to the same group (Louvre 2980). But this proposition is open to doubt, and the drawing itself is a puzzle. It is taditionally ascribed to Cesare d’Arpino, who did indeed paint the done, following a scheme much like that shown in the drawing. But the hand is so unlike his as known at present that it is natural to wonder whether the drawing might not be by his predecessor Cristofano Roncalli, who, according to Baglione, was commissioned to Paint the dome by Sixtus V (1585-90) and was superseses by d’Arpino under Clement VII (1592-1605).\r\n\nGere has suggested that a drawing of the Flagellation in the Zuccaro album’ in the Rosenbach Foundation, Philadephia, might be added to the drawings ascribed to ‘the Master of Ghislieri Apse’, provisionally listing it under the name of Roncalli (op. cit., pp. 137-38, no. 38, pl. 22).\r\n"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Holy Ghost","id":"N7638"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"<b>Anonymous</b>\nDesign for a chapel\nItalian, late 1560s or early 1570s\nPen and ink and wash\n\nThis drawing which shows a pentagonal\nchapel with a semidome ceiling, can be\napproximately dated from the coat of arms\nover the door.
