'Treats the apse/choir of S. Maria del Popolo which Julius II commissioned from Bramante. The choir is essentially a funerary chapel, designed to contain the "Tomb of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza" and the "Tomb of Cardinal Girolamo Basso della Rovere", both by Andrea Sansovino. Assesses scholarly opinion and reviews issues concerning the structure and its decoration; considers patronage motives, iconography, Bramante's concept, the tradition of "mausoleum-choirs" and the program of Julius II' (BHA).
