Between 1477 and 1479, Merlozzo from Forlì made the impressive frescoes in the dome of the Sacristy of St. Marc of the Basilica of the Holy House in Loreto. This is one of the first examples of cupola decorated with pictures and architectural elements, themes influenced by the Bridal Chamber by Andrea Mantegna in Mantua. The paintings on the ceiling vault depict angels holding the tools used during the Passion and Prophets, whereas the ones on the wall depict Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Vasari called Melozzo from Forlì the great artist for perspective.
