unusual facts about lunette

Brancacci Chapel

In the left lunette, destroyed in 1746-1748, Masolino had painted the Calling of Peter and Andrew, or Vocation, known thanks to some indications by past witnesses such as Vasari, Bocchi and Baldinucci.

Roberto Longhi first identified an image of this lost fresco in a later drawing, which does not conform to the lunette's upper curvature, but appears today as a very probable hypothesis.

Santa Maria di Costantinopoli

The apse lunette was decorated by Belisario Corenzio with a fresco of the Virgin & John the Baptist pleading with the Trinity to liberate Naples from the plague.

Viboldone Abbey

The entrance portal is in white marble, and is surmounted by a lunette with marble sculptures of the "Madonna with Child between the Saints Ambrose and John of Meda".
