Maestro di Cesi (early 14th century)
The Cesi Dossal (1308), which is one of the few works of art in Umbria in the early 14th century that bears a date, was probably painted for the church San Michele Arcangelo. This dossal, which is now in the Museo Parrocchiale, is the autograph work of the so-called Maestro di Cesi.
Tommaso Bernabei, il Papacello (died 1559)
From Cortona
A fresco (ca. 1538) of the Madonna and Child, which was originally part of a larger composition, was detached from the left wall of Santa Maria Assunta in 1922 and moved to its current location, in a room off the sacristy. It is probably the fresco by il Papacello that was documented in 1540, when Giovanni Battista Caporali and il Papacello were contracted to “correct” such a work, for which payment was still outstanding.
