The cast bronze candelabra created by Francisco di Giorgio Martini for the Cathedral was commissioned by Federico da Montefeltro, as shown by his heraldic crest present on its base. The paintings here are examples of sixteenth century Mannerism in the Duchy, with artists such as Giustin del Vescovo (? - 1609) called l'Episcopi or Pierantonio Palmerini (d.1538). Other protagonists of the national scene are Raffaellino del Colle (1495-1556) and Pierpaolo Menzocchi (1530 – about 1589). They were engaged in the artistic enterprise of the Villa Imperiale in Pesaro, where the lessons of Raffaello and of the Roman artistic atmosphere of the beginning of the 1500's were passed down. Another work, Cristo alla Colonna was painted for the Confraternity of Santa Croce of Urbino. It is shown here in a preparatory sketch. The artist, Federico Zuccari (1540/41-1609), worked at some of the most prestigious European courts and founded the Academy of S. Luca in Rome. Here he shows the pain and suffering of man through the martyred body of Christ.
