Here, still on the ground floor, we are looking at where the wall on the left joins the back wall. The fake tapestry in fake Cordoba leather at the back is remarkable, typical of Mantegna’s style. Among the other fresco decorations, once stood the altarpiece of the Madonna della Vittoria. On the left, an anonymous artist has drawn a Gothic looking sepulcre in a reddish brown colour, adorned with images of angels and a Christ, which perhaps marked the place where a real tomb was supposed to be located.
