During the last week of the exhibition, the catalogue dedicated to the exhibition “Il Meglio Maestro d’Italia. Perugino nel suo tempo”, which will end Sunday, June 11, was finally published.
The catalogue contains contributions by some major specialists of the painter and Renaissance. The essays retrace the stages of Perugino’s career, from his training to his return to Umbria in the early sixteenth century, and they are introduced by texts aimed at better describing the “time” of the master, deepening his history, thoughts and space. The directors and the curators of the collections of the works on loan have also their spaces, in order to accentuate the choral character of a catalogue that was born first of all from an effective collaboration between institutes, including primarily the Uffizi Galleries, the National Gallery in Washington, the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
