The painters of the Cathedral

In the fifteenth century non-local painters began to appear ever more frequently in the Cathedral workshop.

First Fra Angelico and Luca Signorelli, then in 1425 Gentile da Fabriano was called in to paint a Maestà near the baptismal font: the lovely Madonna Enthroned and Child in the left aisle near the entrance.

Subsequently there were contacts with Piermatteo d'Amelia to whom the Christ at the Column is attributed, painted on the outer right wall of the tribune. For restorations made at the end of that century in some of the upper registers of the tribune, Pinturicchio and Antonio da Viterbo known as Pastura were called in.
