religious

The fresco is from the New Court House in Piazza dei Mercanti, Milan. The angel on the left holds a paper with the words "Soli Deo," one of the mottos used by Marshal Trivulzio, whose funerary chapel was designed by Bramantino. This work shows, in the relationships between figures and landscape, the innovations that Bramantino brought to Lombard painting.
