unusual facts about Santi di Tito



Counter-Maniera

Deciding what characterizes a work in Counter-Mannerist style may not be straightforward; in the single brief passage mentioning the term in John Shearman's Mannerism (1967), he picks Santi di Tito's Vision of St Thomas Aquinas (1593, illustrated here, as in both books) as an example of it, but Freedberg excludes Santo's classicising naturalism from the style, though noting his similarities to it.

Palazzo degli Alberti

Renaissance paintings include a Madonna with Child, a youth work by Filippo Lippi (c. 1436), a Crucifixion by Giovanni Bellini (c. 1505), as well as works by Santi di Tito.

Sansepolcro Cathedral

Works of art in the interior include the Incredulity of St. Thomas by Santi di Tito (1576–1577), a Crucifixion fresco by Bartolomeo della Gatta (1486), an Adoration of the Shepherd by Durante Alberti and, at the high altar, the Resurrection Polyptych by Niccolò di Segna (c. 1348).
