The Miracles of San Bernardino. The Healing of a Young 1473

Pietro Perugino's "The Miracles of San Bernardino. The Healing of a Young" (1473) depicts a scene from the life of Saint Bernardino of Siena, a Franciscan friar known for his preaching and miracles. The painting, housed in the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, Italy, showcases Perugino's masterful handling of Renaissance perspective and architectural details. A grand classical arch framed by elegant columns provides a backdrop for the miraculous healing, where a young woman kneeling before the saint is miraculously cured. The viewer's gaze is directed towards the distant landscape seen through the archway, suggesting the divine power that permeates the scene.
