Pietro Perugino

c. 1450-1523

Pietro Vannucci, called Perugino from the city, Perugia, in which he was active. Umbrian School. Born probably 1445; died 1523. He may have been a pupil of Piero della Francesca and also a pupil or assistant of Verrocchio. He was much in Florence, where he was listed in the Company of St. Luke in 1472. He headed an active studio; Raphael was almost certainly one of his pupils. His most important activity outside of Perugia and Florence was in Rome, where he had a share in the decorations carried out in 1481/82 in the Sistine Chapel.
