The Virgin with St. James and St. Augustine.
The Virgin is on a throne, and holds the divine Child in her arms. On the left is St. James, on the right St. Augustine.
On the throne is inscribed: PETRVS PERVSINVS PINXIT MCCCCLXXXXIIII.
DERUTA
Frescoes are attributed to Pietro by Orsini at this place, but I was unable to find out where they are, and think that they must have disappeared.
FANO, CHURCH OF STA. MARIA NUOVA.
The Annunciation. (2nd chapel.)
The angel, holding the lily, is kneeling before Our Lady, who turns to leave him and with uplifted hands expresses bewilderment at his message. Above, the Eternal Father, seated within a circle of cherubs, looks down in love upon the Madonna. The Holy Ghost as a dove is flying toward the Virgin. The inscription is much mutilated and reads as follows: S.A.T. .... CALE .... TTI QVE PATRVI OLIM PON .... ENERII HAC TABVLA ER .. GI IN .... OHC .... TVRA A .... VII MCCCC .... III PETRVS DE C ....
