The Vatican Museums (Musei Vaticani ) are among the greatest museums in the world,
since they display works from the immense collection
built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries.
Pope Julius II founded the museums in the 16th century.
The Sistine Chapel and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated by Raphael
are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums.
As of 2007, they were visited by 4,310,083 people for the year.
The Vatican Museums trace their origin to one marble sculpture, purchased 500 years ago.
The sculpture of Laocoön, the priest who, according to Greek mythology,
tried to convince the people of ancient Troy not to accept the Greeks' gift of a hollow horse,
was discovered 14 January 1506, in a vineyard near the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore
in Rome. Pope Julius II sent Giuliano da Sangallo and Michelangelo Buonarroti,
who were working at the Vatican, to examine the discovery. On their recommendation,
the pope immediately purchased the sculpture from the vineyard owner.
The pope put the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons in the grips of a sea
serpent on public display at the Vatican exactly one month after its discovery.
The Museums celebrated their 500th anniversary in October 2006
by permanently opening the excavations of a Vatican Hill necropolis to the public.
The Ceiling of Gallery of Maps is the decorations on the vaulted ceiling is the work
of a group of Mannerist artists such as Cesare Nebbia and Girolamo Muziano.
This gallery is situated at the west side of the Belvedere Courtyard. It is 120 m long.
Cesare Nebbia trained with Girolamo Muziano, and under this master,
he helped complete a flurry of decoration that was added to the Cathedral of Orvieto in the 1560s.
Almost all the remaining work in Orvieto is now in the Museo del Duomo.
Nebbia and Muziano became active in many of the premier projects in late 16th century Rome.
Nebbia and Muziano's other assistant, Giovanni Guerra, decorated the Gregorian Chapel
in the St Peter's Basilica during the administration of Gregory XIII (1572-1585).
Other Mannerist painters that were involved in this enterprise
were Taddeo and Federico Zuccari, Niccolò Circignani, and Hendrick van den Broeck.
Fresco decorations in Palazzo Simonelli in Torre San Severo have been attributed to Nebbia.
In 1576, he painted a Resurrection of Lazarus for the Church of Santa Maria dei Servi in Pieve.
During the administration of Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590),
Nebbia and Guerra together managed the two major fresco decorations commissioned by the papacy:
the construction and decoration of the Capella Sistina at Santa Maria Maggiore
and the refurbishment of the Scala Santa and the chapel of St. Lawrence found adjacent
to the Lateran palace and San Giovanni in Laterano.
The Sistine chapel of Santa Maria Maggiore was meant to be a burial chapel for pope Sixtus,
and constructed over the supposed presepe relic,
and should not to be confused with the more famous Vatican counterpart, the Sistine chapel.
The Scala Santa project involved an amalgam of structures,
it comprises five parallel staircases leading to a common corridor, opening up to chapels,
the central one of which was the private papal chapel of St. Laurence
or Sancta Sanctorum of the gothic Lateran Palace, and held numeorous relics,
including the icon of Santissimi Salvatore Acheiropoieton (not painted by human hands).
The staircases were said to have been from the palace of Pilate in Jerusalem.
In the project at Santa Maria Maggiore starting in 1586, Baglione traditionally lists for ten painters
who were active in the fresco decoration as Hendrick van den Broek, Angelo from Orvieto,
Ercolino from Bologna, Salvatore Fontana, Lattanzio Mainardi, Ferdinando Sermei,
Giacomo Stella, Giovanni Battista Pozzo, and Paris Nogari.
The decoration for the church and a chapel which held the relic
of the Nativity (the original Presepe or manger crib) shows scenes of the life of the Virgin.
For the project at the Scala Santa, an overlapping crew of artists was also employed
to decorate frescoes including Giovanni Baglione himself, Stella, G.B. Pozzo, Nogari,
as well as Prospero Orsi, Ferraù Fenzoni, Paul Bril, Paulo Guidotti, Giovanni Battista Ricci,
Cesaro Torelli, Antonio Vivarini, Andrea Lilio, Cesare & Vicenzo Conti
Baldassare Croce, Ventura Salimbeni, and Antonio Scalvati.
Numerous preliminary drawings by Nebbia exist for these frescoes.
Nebbia helped paint galleries in Vatican libraries including the ceilings of map gallery.
During Clement VIII he designed pendentive mosaics for Matthew
and Mark for St. Peter's Basilica. He painted a Crucifixion for Borghese chapel in Trinità dei Monti.
He painted a resurrection for San Giacomo degli Spagnoli.
He painted a Coronation of the Virgin for Santa Maria dei Monti.
Along with Il Bertoia, Federico Zuccari and others, he helped paint the frescoes
on the wall of the Oratorio del Gonfalone in Rome.
He also contributed to the decoration of the Oratory of Santissimo Crocifisso.
In 1603-1604, he moved to Milan where he worked for Federico Borromeo painting
a series of frescoes on the life of the Blessed Carlo Borromeo for various sites, i
ncluding the Collegio Borromeo in Pavia, the collegiata di Arona, and the Palazzo Borromeo on Isola Bella.
Girolamo Muziano (c.1532-1592), was an Italian painter, active in a late-Renaissance or Mannerism style.
He was born in Acquafredda, near Brescia, but active mainly in Rome.
The accounts from the 16th to 20th centuries regarding Muziano's life said
he began work under the tutelage of Romanino, an imitator of the Titian.
Yet, a nearly autobiographical story of Muziano written by his confessor (unpublished until 1954)
indicates instead that Muziano was born in Brescia,
and left this town as a young man, and that his first apprenticeship was under Domenico Campagnola
and Lambert Sustris in 1544-46 in the town of Padua. He then spent time in Venice until 1549,
but moved permanently to Rome about 1550.
He was known there as Il giovane dei paesi (the young man of the landscapes),
but although he continued to draw and paint landscapes throughout his career,
he aspired instead to grand manner figure painting.
He painted historical painting in a style based largely on Michelangelo,
giving great prominence to the monumental anatomy of his figures,
even in works with ascetic saints as their subject.
His Resurrection of Lazarus (1555) was painted for the Colonna palace in Subiaco.
It established his fame; Michelangelo himself pronounced its author one of the first artists of that age.
The painting was later placed in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore above the artist's tomb;
it was afterwards transferred to the Quirinal Palace,
and now is in the Vatican Pinacoteca.
The painting returns to a spatial organization and narrative composition more typical
of the High Renaissance than of Muziano's Mannerist contemporaries.
Muziano came to be the leading artist in Rome during the 1570-80s,
painting in a style that appealed to Counter-Reformation patrons.
He worked for Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este from 1560-66,
although most of his landscape frescoes for the Cardinal's villas in Rome
and Tivoli have since disappeared. His most noted paintings include Circumcision,
formerly the high altarpiece in the church of the Gesù (although now removed to a corridor behind the sacristy),
paintings for three chapels in Santa Maria in Aracoeli,
and St Jerome preaching to Monks in the Desert in Santa Maria degli Angeli.
This last painting was one of two altarpieces that Muziano painted for St. Peter's Basilica
during the time when Muziano served as superintendent of works
for Pope Gregory XIII (the other painting, a Mass of St. Basil
is lost, although it is recorded in an etching by Jacques Callot).
Muziano also designed mosaics for the Gregorian Chapel in the basilica,
and was responsible for re-founding the Academy of St Luke (Accademia di San Luca) in Rome (1577).
His works can also be seen Santa Caterina dei Funari,
the Galleria Colonna (portrait of Vittoria Colonna),
in Orvieto (Museum of Cathedral), and in the church of San Francesco in Frascati.
He died in 1592, and was buried in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
