Biography:
Although nicknamed from his hometown of Perugia, he grew up as Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci. As an apprentice to a local painter, Perugino showed abundant artistic talent. He later trained under Piero della Francesca at Arrezzo and in Rome, under Verroccio along with a young Leonardo. Perugino worked on the Sistine Chapel frescoes for two years before returning to Perugia. He then worked on multiple church commissions in Rome and Florence and taught Raphael. Along with his decorative pieces, Perugino created some religious paintings and portraits.
