Perugia Altarpiece 1448

Fra Angelico's "Perugia Altarpiece" (1448) is a classic example of Early Renaissance art. It depicts the Virgin Mary and Child enthroned, surrounded by angels and saints. The central panel's vibrant colors and delicate details, along with the surrounding predella scenes and small figures, create a sense of harmony and spiritual devotion. The work showcases Angelico's characteristic luminous colors and graceful figures, reflecting the influence of Florentine art. Now located in the National Gallery of Umbria, it remains a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance painting.
