=Frescoes= are attributed to Pietro by Orsini at this place, but I was unable to find out where they are, and think that they must have disappeared. FANO, CHURCH OF STA. MARIA NUOVA. =The Annunciation.= (2nd chapel.) The angel, holding the lily, is kneeling before Our Lady, who turns to leave him and with uplifted hands expresses bewilderment at his message. Above, the Eternal Father, seated within a circle of cherubs, looks down in love upon the Madonna. The Holy Ghost as a dove is flying toward the Virgin. The inscription is much mutilated and reads as follows: =S.A.T. .... CALE .... TTI QVE PATRVI OLIM PON .... ENERII HAC TABVLA ER .. GI IN .... OHC .... TVRA A .... VII MCCCC .... III PETRVS DE C .... TRO PL. ....=. =The Virgin and Child.= (3rd chapel.) Our Lady is seated on a throne in the midst under a vaulted portico, and holds the divine Child in her arms. Around are six saints, St. John, St. Francis, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Mary Magdalen, and a bishop. The lunette represents "The Resurrection," the predella "The Birth of the Virgin," "The Presentation," "The Marriage," "The Annunciation," and "The Assumption." A mutilated inscription on the throne reads: =dvrantis phanen ad intemerate Virginis lavdē tercentv͞m avreis alq [D] hvjvs templi Bono centv̄ svperaditis hanc solerti cvra fieri demandavit Matteo de Martinotiis fidei commissario procvranti mcccc 97 petrvs pervsinvs pinxit.= FOLIGNO, CHURCH OF LA NUNZIATELLA. =The Baptism of Christ.= Circa 1507. Our Lord is being baptised by St. John. Four angels stand around watching, and in the air are two other angels and seven cherubs. The Holy Ghost is descending in the form of a dove. High above in the curve of the archway is the Eternal Father holding the globe in one hand and with the other upraised in benediction. On either side are kneeling angels, and around are cherubs. The inscription between the picture and its lunette is hardly visible, but appears to be =DEO ET BEATO JOANNI BATTISTAE SACRVM PIETATE JOANNIS BAPTISTE=. The date which originally followed the inscription cannot be read. FLORENCE, THE PITTI PALACE. =Mary Magdalen.= Panel, 0·47 × 0·35 = 1 ft. 6 in. × 1 ft. 2 in.
