Summary: "Perugino" by Selwyn Brinton is a biographical account of the renowned Renaissance painter Pietro Perugino, who lived during the late 15th to early 16th century. This informative work dives into the life, artistic development, and significant contributions of Perugino to the world of art, particularly within the context of the Italian Renaissance. The book likely explores the themes of artistic legacy and the unique stylistic elements that define Perugino's work, set against the vibrant backdrop of the cultural and artistic achievements of the period. The text offers a comprehensive summary of Perugino's career, detailing his apprenticeship, early influences, and major commissions, including his notable work on the Sistine Chapel along with fellow artists of the time such as Leonardo da Vinci. Brinton provides insights into Perugino's techniques, including his mastery of frescoes, and his characteristic use of colour that blended both emotion and intellectual depth. The book highlights key pieces of his artwork and contextualizes them within the larger narrative of Renaissance art, illustrating how Perugino paved the way for subsequent masters like Raphael while navigating his own trials and triumphs in a rapidly changing artistic landscape.
