NELLI, OTTAVIANO, born at Gubbio,
died after 1444. Umbrian school; son and
pupil of Martino Nelli; employed at Perugia
in 1400, and elected consul at Gubbio,
1410. He is best known by the so-called
Madonna del Belvedere, in S. M. Nuova,
Gubbio. The Virgin of Succour, a wall
painting of Madonna with Saints and Angels,
and the choir frescos, Legend of St.
Augustin (about 1420), S. Agostino, Gubbio,
are by Nelli and his scholars. His fellow-pupil,
Gentile da Fabriano, probably
assisted him in these works, and in painting
a fresco of the Virgin and Angels, in S. M.
della Piaggiuola, near Gubbio. In 1420 he
went to Urbino, and in 1424 painted the
Legend of the Virgin, a mediocre work, in
the Trinci Chapel, Foligno. His mural
paintings in S. Piero, Gubbio, were destroyed
in the last century. Nothing is
known of Nelli after 1424.—C. & C., Italy,
