Diocesan Museum in Cortona

The Diocesan Museum in Cortona is an art museum in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy, housed on the former site of the local church of Gesù. Its painting holdings include works by Fra Angelico, Pietro Lorenzetti, Bartolomeo della Gatta, Luca Signorelli and Sassetta. One room is devoted to Signorelli and his workshop, where visitors find the Lamentation over the Dead Christ and The Communion of the Apostles, painted for the high altar of Gesù, in which only Judas looks out at the viewer, his gaze revealing inner struggle. Other highlights include the Cortona Triptych by Fra Angelico, the Maestà by Pietro Lorenzetti, the Virgin with Child and Four Saints by Sassetta and the Assumption of Mary by Bartolomeo della Gatta.
