Mazzatosta Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Santa Maria della Verità, Viterbo, Italy
The Mazzatosta Chapel features a square layout with ribbed vaults, decorated walls, and an entrance through a semicircular arch with an iron gate.
Lorenzo da Viterbo completed the chapel's frescoes in 1469, commissioned by Nardo Mazzatosta, a wealthy merchant from the region.
The frescoes depict scenes from the Virgin Mary's life, including the Marriage of the Virgin, which incorporates portraits of local historical figures.
The chapel underwent extensive restoration between 1944 and 1949 after suffering damage during World War II, with 23,000 fresco fragments recovered.
The Marriage of the Virgin fresco includes a self-portrait of Lorenzo da Viterbo interacting with the patron Nardo Mazzatosta.
