PINTURICCHIO (Little Painter), BERNARDINO,
born
at Perugia in 1454
(?), died at Siena,
Dec. 11, 1513.
Umbrian school;
real name Bernardino
di Betti Biagi;
sometimes called
also Lo Sordicchio
on account of his
deafness and the
insignificance of his personal appearance.
Representing Perugian art as practised by
Bonfigli and Fiorenzo di Lorenzo, he almost
always painted in tempera, and worked in
the spirit of the early Umbrian painters.
He was all his life, says Charles Blanc, what
Raphael was at twenty years old; for while
the latter enlarged his horizon and developed
his genius, he remained a faithful follower
of Perugino. In 1484 Pinturicchio
became the partner of Perugino at Rome,
and worked with him in the Sistine Chapel.
He then decorated a chapel in S. M. del
Popolo with an Adoration of the Shepherds
and scenes from the life of St. Jerome (1485),
laid out the choir ceiling in the church, and
also painted frescos in the Palazzo Belvedere
and the Palazzo di S. Apostolo, now
mostly destroyed. His frescos in the Cathedral
of Orvieto (1491-92) and those of
