pietro perugino (pietro vannucci) (1446 – 1523)
Pietro Perugino (1446-1523) was a leading Italian Renaissance painter of the Umbrian school, known for his serene Madonnas, clarity of composition & influence on Raphael. Explore his frescoes and masterpieces!
Each figure is accompanied by an attribute: at the feet of Faith a dog, a common symbol of fidelity; at the feet of Charity a pelican symbolic of Christ"s sacrifice; and at the feet of Hope a phoenix, symbolizing Christ"s Resurrection. The series of allegorical figures, viewed against a continuous landscape, was probably intended to decorate the back of a spalliere (a high-backed bench or day-bed) or to be set into a wainscoting.
