Chapel of the Bishop Eroli, Renaissance chapel in Spoleto Cathedral, Italy.

The Chapel of Bishop Eroli is the first chapel in the right nave of Spoleto Cathedral. Its arched wall and semi-dome carry Pinturicchio's frescoes, framed by mouldings in local pietra caciolfa stone with partly lost monochrome faux reliefs. Below the lunette, a Madonna and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Leonardo sits above a painted Christ in Pietà.

Bishop Costantino Eroli had the chapel built in 1497 as the first chapel of the cathedral's right nave. Its fresco cycle is one of Pinturicchio's rare dated works, painted after his return to Umbria from Rome, where he had been chief painter to Pope Alexander VI and had completed the Borgia Apartment. The cycle reuses stock images, among them the Madonna of the Pala di Santa Maria dei Fossi.

The frescoes inside show the Madonna with the Child between Saint John the Baptist and Saint Leonardo in a lake setting, painted by Pinturicchio with careful attention to detail.

The chapel is the first chapel on the right nave of Spoleto Cathedral, not the right transept; the neighbouring chapel is not the Assumption chapel. Look for the Eroli coat of arms above the apse. Entry follows the cathedral's visiting hours.

The chapel once held a large early-16th-century baptismal font of white stone, carved with eight reliefs of scenes from the life of Jesus, from the Nativity to the Wedding at Cana. It was moved at an unknown date to the former church of Santa Maria della Manna d'Oro.
