The Virgin
with child and
St.Blaise.
These two “frescoes”, by an unknown artist, are dated 1488. They were removed from an oblong recess in the Church of St. Biagio a Colle (St. Blaise on the Hill) near Niccone. This Church was closed towards the end of the 1960s when this area had become completely depopulated.
In the centre the Virgin is shown, and on the left “fresco” stands St. Blaise (the right panel depicted St. Sebastian, but it has been totally lost).
The Virgin enthroned with
child.
A “fresco” of the first half of XV century, attributed to the Maestro della Crocifissione
Volpi. It was painted on the outside wall of Casa Cenci at Piccione (Perugia) and has been restored by the Arts Council of Perugia (Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Perugia) in 1945.
The owners, Dr Enzo and Paolo Cenci have lodged this “fresco” in the Museum in order for it to be exhibited.
