Perugino
(Pietro Vannucci, Italian, 1450-1524)

born c. 1450, Città della Pieve, near Perugia, Romagna
died February/March 1523, Fontignano, near Perugia

EARLY WORK

Nothing is known for certain of Perugino's early training, but he may have been a pupil of Fiorenzo di Lorenzo (c. 1440-1525), a minor painter in Perugia, and of the renowned Umbrian Piero della Francesca (c. 1420-92) in Arezzo, in which case he would have been a fellow pupil of one of his most famous contemporaries, Luca Signorelli. The two men were acquainted, and an occasional influence from Signorelliis visible in Perugino's work, notably in the direction of an increased hardness of drawing (e.g., Crucifixion and Saints, c. 1480-1500; Uffizi, Florence). In Florence, where he is first recorded in 1472, he almost certainly worked in the shop of the important painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio, where the young Leonardo da Vinci was apprenticed.

Το Πρόσωπο του Χριστού

The Arrest of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane,
outer-left wing of the triptych "The Temptation of St. Anthony",
grisaille on panel, Museu Nacional de Arte Antigna at Lisbon.

Hieronymous Bosch
(1450-1516)
Note: Born Jeronimus van Aken

Hieronymus Bosch is known for his enigmatic panels illustrating complex religious subjects with fantastic, often demonic imagery.

The documents about Bosch indicate that he followed the predictable life of a prominent Roman Catholic artist in 's Hertogenbosch, a provincial but prosperous town located in the modern Netherlands close to the Belgian border. His father and grandfather were both painters in the same town before him, and apparently Bosch lived all his life there. He married a local woman and joined the lay organization of the Confraternity of Notre Dame. Bosch was responsible for designing a stained-glass window, among several other works, for the town church. His art was well known outside 's Hertogenbosch during his lifetime.

References to astrology, folklore, witchcraft, and alchemy, in addition to the theme of the Antichrist and episodes from the lives of exemplary saints, are all woven together by Bosch into a labyrinth of late medieval Christian iconography. Scholars differ in their interpretation of Bosch's art, but most agree that his pictures show a preoccupation with the human propensity for sin in defiance of God, as well as with God's eternal damnation of lost souls in hell as a fateful consequence of human folly.

Huguet, Jaime
1415-1492

Catalan painter, the most prominent figure in the Catalan School during the second part of the 15th century. Huguet is thought to have settled in Barcelona about 1448. He continued the Catalan tradition of Bernat Martorell, but was highly individual in his characterization. His studio produced many sumptuous composite altarpieces of the type that became typical in Spanish art and his work exercised a wide influence on the painting of Catalonia and Aragón.
