The *Pala di Monteripido*, painted in 1502 by Pietro Perugino, is a quintessential example of the artist's signature style. The painting depicts the crucifixion of Christ, with the figure of Christ positioned centrally and surrounded by figures of angels, Saint Mary Magdalene, and a Franciscan monk. The serene landscape and balanced composition, along with the delicate use of light and shadow, are characteristic of the Umbrian Renaissance. The artwork is on display at the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, Italy.
