BOTTICELLI

Botticelli (1445 - 1510), in the Sistine Chapel, 1480-1482, frescoed 3 of the 10 scenes that you see on the middle register of the side walls.

The episodes are: The Trials of Moses, The Temptation of Christ and The punishment of Korah, in addition to the portraits of some popes.
The Trials of Moses

Wonderful are the typical Botticelli’s faces, while the Roman setting is underlined by an arc that is reminiscent that of Constantine and the facade of the church of Santo Spirito in Sassia.
