Description
FOLLOWER OF PIETRO PERUGINO - Portrait of a Boy, 19th century Oil on panel. Dimensions: 28 x 40 cm. This work is a high-quality early copy based on one of Pietro Perugino’s most celebrated portraits, currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Perugino, a key figure of the Italian Renaissance and Raphael’s teacher, developed a style characterised by serene compositions, harmonious proportions and idealised figures—qualities that achieved widespread popularity through numerous replicas and versions produced by followers and workshops. This painting displays the characteristic elegance of late 15th- and early 16th-century Umbrian-Florentine portraits, with the sitter depicted in a half-length portrait, displaying a restrained expression and an introspective demeanour. The careful modelling of the face, the delicate transitions of light, and the compositional restraint faithfully reflect the aesthetic principles developed by Perugino, whose influence extended throughout Italy for generations. The work reproduces with remarkable fidelity the essential features of the original housed in the Uffizi, preserving the formal balance and atmosphere of refined serenity that characterise the master’s portraiture. Based on its technical and stylistic characteristics, the painting can be placed within the sphere of the 16th-century Italian school, constituting an interesting testament to the critical acclaim and prestige achieved by Perugino’s models during the Renaissance and subsequent centuries. Item held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
