Palazzo dei Consoli, south façade.
Gubbio produced one of the more engaging figures of the International Gothic movement, Ottaviano Nelli. His masterpieces are in two churches on the east of the town. In the Madonna del Belvedere at Santa Maria Nuova the Virgin and Child are seen with angels under a baldachin supported on thin spiral columns up which putti crawl. The fabrics are sumptuous. Nearby, but outside the walls, is Sant’Agostino, where Nelli frescoed the choir with episodes from the life of the saint. His narrative is discursive, and his depiction of potentates and their attendants tells us something of the extravagance of contemporary patrician taste.
