In 1370 Bonifacio Lupi di Soragna, a lieutenant of the Carraresi, commissioned the Venetian architect Andriolo de Santi to build the Chapel of St James as the family mausoleum. Here, in fact, lie the tombs of Bonifacio and his brother-in-law.
The pictorial decoration is entrusted to the Veronese artist Altichiero da Zevio, assisted by the Bolognese painter Jacopo Avanzo.
The two artists unleashed their virtuosity as court painters, and devised compositional solutions of extraordinary modernity: such as the view of the horses in the foreground in the episode of the Liberation and Pursuit of the Disciples, in the lunette on the north side; or such as the layout of the Resurrection in the opposite lunette on the south wall, in which the gesture of Christ is the same as that adopted by Piero della Francesca in the similar fresco created around the middle of the 15th century.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
