Our Lady on the Throne

Altarpiece of the second altar on the left, it is a remarkable Renaissance work: Our Lady and the Child are placed on a hexagonal shaped small throne, supported by lion paws in gold leaf on the edge of a portico with eight polychrome marble columns; the Saints Magdalene and Augustine are standing on the floor, on either side of the throne. The setting is characterized by a deep and scenic central perspective, often recurring in the author's theme, overlooking a mountainous landscape with a castle, very similar, as a whole, to Our Lady on the Throne in Montelupone and to the Annunciation in Loreto. For its pictorial peculiarity, construction of the figures, characteristics of the prospective composition and lean tempera technique, the work has been assigned to Antonio dei Domenichi from Faenza who made it in 1535.
