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.
