In September I took this photo of the Carafa Chapel in Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, with late 15th-century frescoes (1488–1493) by Filippino Lippi. The church was built directly over (‘sopra’ in Italian) of a temple dedicated to Isis, not Minerva. #FrescoFriday #skystorians #art - ThreadSky

I love Lippi’s work. If you are in DC, check out
Adoration of the Magi in the National Gallery.

The church has many highlights, from Bernini's elephant outside to Michelangelo's Christ (his original had no loincloth) and Fra Angelico's tomb. Next to the Pantheon.
