Pintoricchio

"Pintoricchio" by Evelyn March Phillipps is a study of the life and artistic output of Bernardino Pintoricchio, an Italian Renaissance painter whose work, centered in the Umbria region, has not garnered extensive attention from art historians. Beginning with Pintoricchio's birth in Perugia around 1454, the author explores the artist's early influences, noting the absence of abundant historical information about his life and work. The author argues that despite not being considered one of the era's greatest masters, Pintoricchio's distinctive charm is worth appreciating. The narrative implies connections with prominent artists and benefactors, paving the way for a thorough evaluation of Pintoricchio's body of work within the context of the Renaissance.
