In the spandrels of the vaulting are the four evangelists with the four Latin Church fathers. The vaulting paintings follow the pattern that had been traditional since the fourteenth century, only here each of the evangelists is paired with one of the Church fathers. They are seated together in pairs on a bank of clouds, and bathed in a yellow light. Each of the evangelists is identified by his symbol. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation to Zacharias \(detail\)]() - [Conversion and Beheading of Empress Faustina]() - [Crucifixion \(altar wall\)]() - [Crucifixion \(altar wall\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Founding of Santa Maria Maggiore]() - [Frescoes in the Cappella Brancacci \(right view\)]() - [God the Father Surrounded by Angels \(detail\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(left view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(right view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
