Maria mit Kind mit den hll. Johannes der Täufer und Hieronymus

Pietro Perugino painted this Madonna and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Jerome around 1484, a standard sacra conversazione composition. Perugino's effortless ability to compose harmonious arrangements of serene figures within luminous landscapes made him the most sought-after painter in central Italy during the 1480s and 1490s. Pietro Perugino was the most successful painter in Central Italy around 1490-1505, running workshops in both Perugia and Florence while executing major commissions in Rome, including the Sistine Chapel frescoes.

Oil on panel with Perugino's signature spacious composition and soft, atmospheric palette. The flanking saints and central Madonna are arranged with the balanced symmetry that characterizes his mature altarpiece style.
