Christmas with Angels7 Mezzo da Forli

The story of Christmas is infused with the presence of angels. Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas (Calvin Coolidge)

  1. 7 ChristmaS With Angels

  2. 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 PietroRiario to paint the vault of the apse in the basilica deiSantiApostoli 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.
