Years: 1495 - 1495
Pinturicchio and his school complete three years of fresco work on the Vatican Palace’s Borgia Apartment in about 1495.
These six rooms now form part of the Vatican library, and five still retain a series of Pinturicchio frescoes.
Recent cleaning of Pinturicchio's fresco "The Resurrection" has revealed a scene believed to be the earliest known European depiction of Native Americans, painted just two short years after Christopher Columbus returned from the New World.
