Original fileThis detail shows three saints standing on a painted architectural ledge, identifiable by the inscriptions near their feet. Below them, a large block of Latin text credits the artist Pietro Perugino for completing this section of the mural. The work is notable for being the lower half of a composition started by Raphael before his departure for Rome.
The fresco represents a rare historical instance where the master, Perugino, completed a work begun by his former pupil, Raphael, after the latter's death. It reflects the theological program of the Camaldolese monks and the transition of High Renaissance style in the Umbrian region.
