Original fileThree standing figures are depicted against a pale blue sky. On the left, Saint Gregory the Great is shown as a Pope wearing the triple tiara; in the center, Saint Boniface appears in a white monastic habit holding a palm branch; on the right, Saint Martha is dressed in a green gown and purple cloak. These figures were painted by Perugino in 1521 to complete the lower portion of a wall started by his pupil Raphael.
This fresco represents a historical bridge between the Umbrian tradition and the High Renaissance, as Perugino completed the work years after Raphael's death. It illustrates the Camaldolese Order’s spiritual lineage, connecting their founder, Saint Romuald, and the Benedictine tradition to the broader hierarchy of the Church.
