PERUGINO, Pietro: Perugino’s Self-Portrait

🖼 Perugino’s Self-Portrait, 1497-1500
Fresco
Perugia, Italy

Soft brushwork captures a composed Renaissance man gazing directly outward, rendered with warm ochre tones and delicate modeling. Perugino's self-portrait affirms his status as master of linear perspective and graceful figuration, influencing Raphael and defining early 16th-century Italian portraiture.
