EDITORS COMMENTS
Pietro Perugino, born Pietro Vannucci (circa 1446/1450-1523), was an influential Italian Renaissance painter of the Umbrian school, active during the High Renaissance period. This stunning artwork, titled "The Virgin Appearing to St. Bernard," is an altarpiece created between 1490 and 1494 for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi in Florence. The painting is now housed at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. Perugino masterfully depicts the Virgin Mary appearing to St. Bernard, a Franciscan missionary and priest, as he writes in his book. The scene is filled with intricate details, showcasing Perugino's exceptional skill in perspective and character development. The Virgin Mary, with a serene expression, extends her hand towards St. Bernard, who looks up in awe and devotion. The disciples in the background, engaged in various activities, add depth and a sense of narrative to the painting. The altarpiece reflects the Catholic faith and the importance of religious figures during the 15th century in Europe. Perugino's use of oil on wood and his ability to capture the essence of the characters and their emotions make this a significant work of art from the Modern Age. The painting's intricate details and beautiful composition have made it a beloved masterpiece, attracting art enthusiasts and scholars from around the world.
