"The Ceiling with Four Medallions," painted in 1508 by Pietro Perugino, is a stunning example of High Renaissance fresco. The artwork features four circular medallions, each depicting a scene from the life of Christ. The medallions are surrounded by an intricate decorative pattern of gold and white, creating a sense of grandeur and beauty. The ceiling was likely painted for a church, though its current location is unknown. The use of vibrant colors, naturalism, and balanced composition are characteristic of Perugino's style, and exemplify his contribution to the artistic development of the High Renaissance.
