Madonna and Child with Four Saints (Tezi Altarpiece) 1500

Pietro Perugino's "Madonna and Child with Four Saints" (Tezi Altarpiece), painted in 1500, exemplifies the High Renaissance style. The piece features the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, cradling the infant Christ, surrounded by four saints. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a harmonious and symmetrical manner. The use of soft, delicate colors and light contributes to a sense of serenity and grace. This altarpiece, likely commissioned by the Tezi family, reveals the artist's penchant for detailed landscapes and architectural elements.
