"Angel with Violin" is a renowned fresco fragment painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Melozzo da Forlì. This artwork is a significant example of Melozzo's mastery in the use of foreshortening and perspective, techniques that were innovative at the time and contributed to the development of High Renaissance art. The fresco originally adorned the apse of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Rome, where it was part of a larger ensemble created around 1480.

The fragment depicts an angel in a dynamic pose, playing a violin. The angel is captured from a low viewpoint, looking upwards, which gives the figure a sense of hovering above the viewer. This perspective creates a dramatic and celestial appearance, as if the angel is serenely floating in the heavens, a technique that Melozzo was particularly noted for and which influenced subsequent artists.

Unfortunately, the Church of the Holy Apostles was remodeled in the 18th century, and Melozzo's frescoes were removed. The fragments were then dispersed, with "Angel with Violin" and other pieces ending up in different collections. The surviving fragment of "Angel with Violin" is currently housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana (Vatican Picture Gallery) in Vatican City, where it continues to be admired for its artistic significance and beauty.

Melozzo da Forlì (1438–1494) was an Italian painter of the Quattrocento, a period marked by the transition from medieval to modern art. He was a pioneer in the use of trompe-l'œil and perspective to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces, and his work on the frescoes in the Church of the Holy Apostles is considered one of the high points of his career. The "Angel with Violin" stands as a testament to Melozzo's innovative approach to composition and his ability to convey a sense of the divine through art.
