8. Pietro Vannucci known as Perugino - Room 16

Room 16 presents Perugino's early masterpieces, including the Adoration of the Magi, a youthful masterpiece created after his apprenticeship with Verrocchio. The painting introduces a new formal language to Perugia, characterized by refined lighting effects and deep perspective. The scene of the Magi, rich in exquisite detail, conceals among the figures a self-portrait of the artist, who gazes out at the viewers with pride and self-confidence.
