PERINO DEL VAGA (b. 1501, Firenze, d. 1547, Roma) |
The Visitationc. 1520Fresco Santissima Trinità dei Monti, Rome | |
In the Visitation fresco in the Pucci Chapel, Perino turned what was actually an intimate occasion into a many-figured scene that unfurls across a broad stage in front of a large architectural backdrop with numerous spectators expressing their joy and their astonishment over the event heralded, the incarnation of God. The influence of Raphael's School of Athens here is undeniable. |
