Pietro Perugino was born Pietro di Christoforo Vannucci. He later received his name Perugino from his home region Perugia. He was an Italian painter of the Renaissance and belonged to the Umbrian school. Although he himself was very talented and could achieve great prestige in his early creative years, he was later quickly overshadowed by other great artists of his time. His most famous student was Raphael, who learned fresco painting from him. Perugino's early years, his family background and the details of his education are not clearly documented. In all probability he was first a student of Fioreno di Lorenzo, a moderately well-known painter from Perugia, and then went to the famous Umbrian painter Piero della Francesca in Arezzo. One of his fellow students in Francesca's studio was Luca Signorelli. The two men were obviously well acquainted with each other, as Signorelli's influence was evident in some of Perugino's paintings.
In the course of his training, Perugino went to Florence, where he began working in the studio of the painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. There the young Leonardo da Vinci, Filippino Lippi and Lorenzo di Credi were also trained. Around 1472 Perugino seemed to have completed his apprenticeship, as he was accepted as a master in the Saint Luke's Guild. He first returned to Perugia, but was soon called to Rome by Pope Sixtus IV to paint some frescoes for the Sistine Chapel. The painter Pinturicchio accompanied him to assist him in the work. For this he is said to have received about one third of the fee. Three of the scenes Perugino painted in the Sistine Chapel were later destroyed by Michelangelo to make room for his own work. After finishing his work on the Sistine Chapel, Perugino returned to Florence. His most famous and still preserved work, which he made for the Sistine Chapel, was "Christ hands Peter the keys".
The years between 1490 and 1500 are considered the most productive and artistically mature period of Perugino's creative work. After that, however, his fame seemed to fade. This was mainly due to the fact that he repeatedly repeated earlier motifs, often in an almost routine manner. The critical Florentines are said to have mocked Perugino's lack of imagination. Perugino only replied to his critics that they had once praised him for precisely these works and therefore did not have the right to criticize him for the same designs. Michelangelo is said to have even told Perugino to his face that he considered him a botcher. Perugino did not want to accept this and accused Michelangelo of defamation, but was unsuccessful. Perugino left Florence around 1505 and moved back to Umbria to work for a less critical audience. He continued painting until the end and fell victim to the plague in 1523. Perugino was buried in a mass grave like many others at that time, so that today nobody knows exactly where his remains lie.
