The composition is divided into two distinct zones. In the upper section, Christ stands within a mandorla, holding a banner marked with a red cross. He is flanked by two floating angels, their postures mirroring one another in a display of balanced symmetry. The lower section features the tomb, which is rendered with architectural precision, surrounded by four soldiers in various states of slumber or surprise.\n\nPerugino employs a clear, rational spatial arrangement that is characteristic of his mature style. The figures possess a gentle, idealised quality, with soft modelling and refined facial features. The landscape in the background is painted with a light, atmospheric touch, receding into the distance to create a sense of depth. The colour palette is carefully controlled, with the deep crimson of Christ's robe providing a visual anchor against the cooler tones of the sky and the muted earth colours of the landscape.\n\nThis painting demonstrates the artist's ability to combine religious narrative with a calm, orderly aesthetic. The use of the mandorla, an almond-shaped halo, frames the central figure, drawing the eye upwards. The soldiers below are depicted in complex, foreshortened poses, which adds a degree of dynamism to the otherwise serene scene. Perugino's work from this period reflects the transition towards the High Renaissance, where clarity of form and harmonious composition became the primary objectives for painters in Italy. The attention to detail in the armour and the drapery of the garments indicates the technical proficiency that made Perugino one of the most sought-after artists of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pietro Perugino","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232866537807,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232866603343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232866636111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232866734415,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232866767183,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232866799951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232866865487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232866898255,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232866931023,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232866963791,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232867029327,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232867062095,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232867127631,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232867160399,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232867684687,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232867717455,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232867782991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Resurrection_Poster_CompositorV1_1782873486287.jpg?v=1782873932"},{"product_id":"madonna-and-child-with-st-catherine-and-st-rosa-pietro-perugino","title":"Madonna and Child with St. Catherine and St. Rosa - Pietro Perugino","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene High Renaissance tondo by Pietro Perugino, featuring the Madonna and Child surrounded by saints in a balanced, harmonious landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis circular composition, or tondo, displays the characteristic clarity and balanced geometry associated with the work of Pietro Perugino. The central figure of the Virgin Mary holds the infant Christ, flanked by Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Rosa of Viterbo. Two angels stand behind the group, their figures arranged in a symmetrical fashion that draws the eye toward the centre of the panel. Perugino employs a clear, rational spatial arrangement, placing the figures on a raised terrace that overlooks a distant, atmospheric landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is defined by primary hues, particularly the deep blue of the Virgin's mantle and the warm red of her bodice, which are echoed in the garments of the accompanying saints.

This work demonstrates the artist's ability to integrate human figures into a unified, serene environment.

The focus remains on the human gesture and the quiet exchange between the individuals, capturing a moment of spiritual intervention through a lens of humanistic observation.

Commissioned for the church of Santa Maria Nuova in Fano, this work depicts the Assumption of the Virgin, a subject that allowed Perugino to employ his signature style of serene, graceful figures arranged in a clear, rhythmic order. The central figure of the Virgin is enclosed within a mandorla, surrounded by cherubim, while the apostles are gathered below in a semi-circular formation.

Pietro Perugino, a master of the Umbrian school, presents the saint kneeling in a rocky, barren environment.

The scene illustrates the struggle between the forces of desire and the virtues of purity.

The composition is divided into two distinct registers. The upper section depicts the Holy Trinity, with Christ seated in glory, flanked by adoring saints and angels.

The figures are rendered with a sense of calm and grace, characteristic of the Umbrian school. The colour palette remains restrained, favouring soft tones that harmonise with the architectural setting of the chapel. The drapery of the saints' robes is handled with precision, creating gentle folds that suggest volume without disrupting the overall serenity of the scene. The background of the upper register features a light, atmospheric sky, which provides a sense of openness and distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work demonstrates the artist's ability to integrate human figures into a structured, devotional space.

The fresco remains a primary example of the devotional art produced in the early sixteenth century, reflecting the period's focus on theological themes presented through humanistic ideals of beauty and proportion.
