| Summary | "Perugino" by George C. Williamson is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the life and works of the Italian Renaissance painter Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino. The book details the artist's influences, his artistic development, and the characteristics that defined his distinctive style, while also shedding light on his personal experiences and struggles. The opening of the book introduces Perugino, situating him in the context of his birth in 1446 or 1447 in Città della Pieve, Italy. It outlines his early artistic influences, discussing his apprenticeship under various painters, and hints at the significant impact of masters such as Niccolò Liberatore and Piero della Francesca on his development. The narrative delves into the challenges Perugino faced in his formative years, suggests the nature of his training, and sets the stage for his eventual rise to prominence within the Italian art world, marking a journey that intertwines personal ambition with the rich cultural fabric of the Renaissance.
