History
Pietro Vannucci, called Perugino
Williamson, George C.
Perugino, approximately 1450-1523
There were exhibited at the Old Masters Exhibition in 1892, five
panels, each 10½ × 18, Nos. 146, 147, 148, 154, 155, representing
"The Nativity," "The Baptism," "Christ and the Woman of Samaria,"
"The Resurrection," and the "Noli me Tangere."
_Originally in the Barker collection, No. 154 now belongs to Mr. F.
A. White (_q.v._); the others have not been traced._
=WILLIAM DRURY-LOWE, Esq., LOCKO PARK, DERBY.=
=Virgin and Child with Saints.= Canvas. 47 × 45. Old Masters, 1893. No.
164.
The Virgin is seated, with the divine Child, who is nude, erect on
her knees. His right hand is raised, and in his left is a globe.
On the left is St. Jerome reading a book, and behind him St. Nicolas
of Tolenteno. On the right, St. Catherine and a bishop in adoration.
This is now ascribed by Dr. Richter to Lo Spagna, one of Perugino's
pupils. The identical picture, executed in fresco, is to be found at
Spoleto, and is there considered to be Lo Spagna's masterpiece.
_The above easel replica came from the Palazzo Darino at Milan, and
was bought in 1852 from Sig. Giovanni Locarnos._
