Pietro Perugino, Master of Raphael

Musee Jacquemart-Andre', Paris

Considered by his contemporaries as one of the greatest painters in Italy, Pietro Vannucci known as Perugino (1450-1523) pioneered a new style of painting during the last decades of the 15th century and the first two of 16th century, which profoundly influenced the period. More than just a chronological study of the artistic career of Perugino and his contemporaries, the exhibition highlights the vital contributions these paintings made to the art and culture of their time. Pietro Perugino was the leader of an international artistic style which would spread throughout the rest of Europe thanks to the young Raphael (1483-1520), one of Perugino's students, whose works met with great success. In this regard, the exhibition of some sixty paintings will establish a direct link between Perugino's and Raphael's works in relation to two main foci - landscape and portrait - to underline the stylistic continuity that developed between master and student. Curators Vittoria Garibaldi and Nicolas Sainte-Fare Garnot. (Image: Perugino, Virgin and Child. Circa 1500. Oil on wood 70,2 x 50 cm Washington, National Gallery of Art, Samuel H. Kress Collection)
