This painting, titled "Madonna of Mercy with the saints and Stephen Jerome," was painted in 1512 by Pietro Perugino. This piece depicts the Virgin Mary in a voluminous robe, spread open to shelter two kneeling figures, possibly saints. Two angels with wings hover above, adding a heavenly aspect to the scene. This work showcases Perugino's signature style of clear lines, soft colors, and an emphasis on the human form, characteristic of the High Renaissance.
