This essay reflects on the frescoes in the so-called Oratory of Honorius Ⅲ located in the Basilica of Saint Sebastian Outside the Walls in Rome. This paper will examine the frescoes in the Oratory in the context of Rome's art scene in the first few decades of the 13th century, focusing on the stylistic heterogeneity between the painted pieces. This period in Rome utilized a diversity of pictorial languages: one is the use of late Komnenian style, which could be observed in the city through the great mosaic workshops of Saint Peter's within the Vatican and of Saint Paul Outside the Walls on via Ostiense, another is the deep-rooted local tradition that was still in vigor. In other words, we will analyze the frescoes in question by considering them as a microcosm of Rome’s diverse pictorial scene in this era. In addition, we will attempt to verify the origin of the Oratory and its relationship to the adjacent space, Platonia, which has been linked to the cult of the apostles Peter and Paul since at least the late Middle Ages. It is in this context, that we hope to contribute to a more fulsome understanding of the iconographic program of the frescoes in the Oratory.

Abstract
This essay reflects on the frescoes in the so-called Oratory of Honorius Ⅲ located in the Basilica of Saint Sebastian Outside the Walls in Rome. This paper will examine the frescoes in the Oratory in the context of Rome's art scene in the first few decades of the 13th century, focusing on the stylistic heterogeneity between the painted pieces. This period in Rome utilized a diversity of pictorial languages: one is the use of late Komnenian style, which could be observed in the city through the great mosaic workshops of Saint Peter's within the Vatican and of Saint Paul Outside the Walls on via Ostiense, another is the deep-rooted local tradition that was still in vigor. In other words, we will analyze the frescoes in question by considering them as a microcosm of Rome’s diverse pictorial scene in this era. In addition, we will attempt to verify the origin of the Oratory and its relationship to the adjacent space, Platonia, which has been linked to the cult of the apostles Peter and Paul since at least the late Middle Ages. It is in this context, that we hope to contribute to a more fulsome understanding of the iconographic program of the frescoes in the Oratory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
