Pietro Perugino

Pietro Perugino (c. 1446–1523), born Pietro Vannucci at Città della Pieve, was the leading painter of the Umbrian Renaissance. Trained in Florence in Andrea del Verrocchio's workshop alongside Leonardo da Vinci, he was enrolled as a master by 1472.

Summoned to Rome in 1479, he led painters including Botticelli and Ghirlandaio in decorating the new Sistine Chapel from 1481, contributing the Delivery of the Keys. In Perugia he frescoed the Collegio del Cambio in 1496–1500 with planets, classical figures and his own portrait. He trained Raphael, his most famous pupil, and died of plague at Fontignano in 1523.
