View of the Cappella di Isotta
by AGOSTINO DI DUCCIO, Photo
The Chapel of Isotta houses the tomb of Isotta degli Atti, Pandolfo Malatesta’s lover and later his wife. The chapel is decorated with reliefs of music-making angels. The reliefs are controlled by a subtle sense for placing the image in its frame. Animated figures are shown in motion.
This chapel also houses Giotto’s Crucifix painted during his sojourn in Rimini.
