This is also the first exhibit of his work outside Italy in 50 years. Nine Italian and American scholars have contributed brief  informative essays to this book. The core  however  is a catalog of the 35 works of art exhibited  including nine paintings shipped from the National Gallery of Umbria  Perugia  sister city of Grand Rapids  and 26 borrowed from museums in the United States. This stunning  beautifully rendered monograph provides a modern reappraisal of Peruginos entire career; one has to reach all the way back to 1933 (R. Van Marle  The Development of the Italian School of Painting  Vol. 14) for as complete a treatment of Perugino in English. An annotated chronology reflects the latest scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651830079541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0942159209","price":96.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780942159202.jpg?v=1781841620","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pietro-perugino-master-of-the-italian-renaissance-9780942159202","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
