The most important figurative complex of the cathedral is the fresco decoration on the side walls of the nave (early 16th century), portraying the "Life of Mary and Christ". Different painters collaborated to its execution: the first was Boccaccio Boccaccino (with "Annunciation to Joachim" and "Jesus with the Doctors"), who, in 1506, had already painted a "Redemeer with Cremona's Patron Saints" in the apse vault. He was succeeded by Giovan Francesco Bembo ("Epiphany" and "Presentation at the Temple") and Altobello Melone ("Flight to Egypt", "Massacre of the Innocents" and the first four panels of the "Passion of Christ"), who both adopted a less classicist style. Next came Girolamo Romanino, author of the scenes from "Jesus before Pilatus" to "Ecce Homo", who painted some of his masterworks here.
