"The Transfiguration" (1498) by Pietro Perugino is a depiction of the biblical event where Jesus is transfigured before his disciples, Peter, James, and John. The painting portrays Jesus in a radiant light, surrounded by Moses and Elijah, while his disciples are shown in awe below. This artwork is characteristic of Perugino's High Renaissance style, known for its balanced composition, clear figures, and use of perspective.
