1492, Filippino Lippi, Assumption of the Virgin (wall above altar) -- Basilica di Santa Maria sopra Minerva (Rome)

            From the church label:
The chapel was frescoed between 1489 and 1492 by Filippino Lippi and commissioned by the Neapolitan Cardinal Oliviero Carafa (1430-1511), the protector of the Dominican Order. The entry arch, bearing the carved inscription to Our Lady of the Annunciation and St. Thomas Aquinas, has a putto on either side, attributed to the school of Verrocchio, originally in the
Tornabuoni, now the Naro Chapel. In the middle of the back wall, an elegant trabeation on marble pillars with gilded candle-stick motifs frames an altar piece which portrays St. Thomas Aquinas Presents Cardinal Carafa to Our Lady of the Annunciation. Around the architectural structure, fresco decoration covers the entire wall, where the Assumption of the Virgin is represented, with numerous bystanders. The figures of the Cimmerian Sibyl, the Sibyl of Tibur, Delphi and the Hellespont painted by Raffaellino del Garbo are in the rib vaults.
