Maestro de Perea

This Spanish painter, active around 1500, left behind quiet, gold-leaf altarpieces for parish churches. The Visitation, a scene where Mary meets her pregnant cousin Elizabeth, sits in soft folds of reds and blues, with halos like beaten metal. The figures stand close under a low sky, their faces calm but not stiff; the gold background glows like candlelight in a dark chapel. Tap The Visitation to see how one artist kept a sacred moment human.
