  • An undisclosed peruginesque: Amico Aspertini.

    This essy intends to inquire into Amico Aspertini's long-lasting confrontation with Perugino during the first decade of the 16th century. His attraction to Vannucci's works echoes the strong influence Umbrian and Roman painters exerted upon him, especially Pinturicchio, as we can see in the Adoration of the Shepherds in Berlin and Bologna. In successive works such as the San Sebastian in Washington, the "pala del Tirocinio" and frescoes at Santa Cecilia, his knowledge pf Perugino's art went still more obvious. This phase culminated and ended with the frescoes at San Frediano in Lucca, for which the hypothesis of a stay in Venice now seems obsolete.

    The analysis of drawings from that period show that Aspertini was directly acquainted with sheets by Perugino and his circle, and that part of such updating was due to model books.
