Della Rovere Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo, Italy
The Della Rovere Chapel features hexagonal architecture with a sexpartite ribbed vault and contains frescoes depicting religious scenes and saints conversations.
Cardinal Domenico della Rovere acquired the chapel in 1477 following the church reconstruction by Pope Sixtus IV, commissioning Pinturicchio for its decoration.
The chapel combines religious art with Renaissance architecture through its painted Corinthian pilasters, grotesque decorations, and marble funeral monuments.
The chapel stands within Santa Maria del Popolo basilica at coordinates 41.9114° N, 12.4763° E, near Rome's northern gate.
The main altarpiece presents The Adoration of the Child with St Jerome, signed by Pinturicchio, alongside five transferred lunettes showing Saint Jerome's life.
