Vanucci, Pietro (Perugino)
painted; b. 1446; d. 1524.
For Sixtus IV (Pope 1471-1484) he painted a series of frescos in the Sistine Chapel, some of which were destroyed to make room for Michelangelo's Last Judgment. In 1499 and 1500 Perugino painted the decorations of the Sala del Cambio (Exchange) of Perugia, Italy, one of the most perfect examples of the decorative work of the fifteenth century.
