Pietro di Cristoforo, zis Il Perugino Vanucci
Pietro di Cristoforo, zis Il Perugino Vanucci is a Mannerism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Timișoara National Museum of Art.
This Umbrian painter of the late 1400s made calm, balanced Madonnas with softly modeled faces and gentle colors, following the traditions of the early Italian Renaissance. You can step right into one of them in the Madonna cu pruncul, where the Christ Child holds a sprig of hawthorn against a soft landscape. Tap the painting to see how the delicate folds of Mary’s robe catch the light.
