Melozzo da Forlì (c. 1438-1494) was an Italian
Renaissance painter and architect, the most
important member of the Forlì painting school.
His paintings strongly influenced Michelangelo,
Raphael and Donato Bramante In about 1480 Melozzo
was commissioned by Pietro Riario to paint the
vault of the apse in the basilica dei Santi
Apostoli in Rome, his subject being the Ascension
of Christ. In this work, Christ is boldly and
effectively foreshortened. This fresco was taken
down in 1711. The figure of Christ is now in the
Quirinal Palace while some of the other
portions, which influenced Raphael, are in the
sacristy of St Peter's. A hall in the Vatican
Museums, with designs of angels and apostles by
Melozzo, was taken from the same fresco. Another
work of the Roman period is an Annunciation that
can still be seen in the Pantheon.
