PERUGINO, Pietro: Virgin and Child between Sts John the Baptist and Catherine

🖼 Virgin and Child between Sts John the Baptist and Catherine, c. 1500
Wood
81 × 63 cm

Soft Renaissance symmetry places the Virgin and Child centrally, flanked by saints in luminous, balanced composition. Perugino's harmonious arrangement and delicate modeling exemplify early 16th-century Umbrian ideals of divine serenity and mathematical perfection in religious art.
