=Virgin and Child.=
The Madonna is in the sky within a mandorla of cherubs, and has four
angels around her playing on instruments. Below are two saints.
Much of this picture is by Lo Spagna.
PAVIA, CERTOSA.
A picture of six divisions of which the central one in the upper tier is
alone by Perugino.
It represents the Eternal Father seated, holding the globe in one
hand and giving the benediction with the other. Cherub heads are all
around the seated figure.
The three panels in the lower tier are now in the National Gallery,
London, and copies take their places in the Certosa at Pavia.
On either side of the Perugino panel have now been inserted panels
by Borgognone.
The picture is in the second chapel on the left, that of St. Michael
the Archangel.
