This museum was created by the Treaty of Vienna (1816), which provided that the works returned by France would be exhibited to the public. This was done under Pius XI in 1932. It is a pleasure, because the rooms are not visited very often. Finally, a little quiet in these crowded galleries! You can therefore enjoy the art gallery, which presents, in chronological order, works that allow you to follow the evolution of religious painting from the 2nd to the 17th century. This is one of the richest collections of paintings in Italy, you would be wrong to ignore it! To help you see more clearly, here are the works not to be missed:

Melozzo Da Forli (1438-1494): Sixtus IV and the librarian.

The painters of Umbria: The Perugino (The Virgin and Child) and the Pinturicchio (Coronation of the Virgin).

Raphael (1483-1520), with the famous Madonna of Foligno and the Transfiguration. Not to mention the tapestries on Raphael's drawings.

Giovanni Bellini (1429-1516) and the Descent of the Cross.

The primitives are represented by a last judgment of a still very Byzantine style (11th century).

Giotto and his students: the triptych Stefaneschi (1315).

Fra Angelico (1400-1455) and his pupil Gozzoli: the Virgin in Glory and the Stories of St. Nicholas.

Filippo Lippi (1406-1469): Coronation of the Virgin Mary.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519): Saint Jerome.

Titian (1490-1576): Our Lady of Saint Nicola dei Frari.

Le Caravage (1573-1610): Descent of the Cross, which made a lot of noise because of its realism.

Une très belle collection ! Cette pinacothèque est bien moins fréquentée que d'autres parties du musée du Vatican.

Après la visite de la chapelle sixtine il fait garder un peu de temps ( et d'énergie)pour visiter
la pinacothèque. Lors de notre visite le tableau inachevé de Léonard de Vinci avait été prêté au Louvres ...
