These two frescos are studies based upon Renaissance masterpieces in Italy— “Angel Playing the Lute” by Melozzo da Forli in the Vatican Museum, Rome, and “The Angel of the Annunciation’ “ by Jacopo Pontormo in Santa Felicita, Florence. These are true “buon” frescos— powdered pigment applied to wet lime plaster.
