{"product_id":"polyptych-of-st-peter-san-placido-pietro-perugino","title":"Polyptych of St. Peter (San Placido) - Pietro Perugino","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene portrait of Saint Placidus by Pietro Perugino, featuring the soft modelling and devotional grace characteristic of the High Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis panel depicts Saint Placidus, a figure associated with the Benedictine order, captured in a moment of quiet devotion. Painted by Pietro Perugino, the work formed part of the extensive polyptych commissioned for the Basilica of San Pietro in Perugia. The artist employs his characteristic approach to devotional imagery, focusing on a serene, meditative expression that invites the viewer into a state of contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is rendered with the soft modelling and gentle transitions of light that defined Perugino's style. His mastery of oil paint allows for a subtle gradation of tone across the face and hands, creating a sense of volume against the darker, atmospheric background. The saint holds a palm frond, a traditional symbol of martyrdom, which provides a slender vertical element against the dark folds of his monastic habit. The composition is balanced and restrained, avoiding unnecessary ornamentation to keep the focus on the spiritual state of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerugino was a central figure in the Umbrian school, known for his ability to harmonise figures within their environment. While the background remains relatively simple, the placement of the figure behind a low stone ledge adds a sense of physical presence. This work reflects the calm, ordered aesthetic that influenced many of his contemporaries, including his most famous pupil, Raphael. The clarity of form and the deliberate, graceful posture are hallmarks of the artist's mature period, demonstrating his technical precision and his focus on emotional clarity. This print captures the delicate balance of light and shadow, preserving the quiet dignity of the original panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/madonna-and-child-enthroned-with-two-angels-and-a-donor-vittore-crivelli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMadonna and Child Enthroned with Two Angels and a Donor - Vittore Crivelli — Vittore Crivelli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pietro Perugino","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59101000106319,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59101017440591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59101017473359,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59101017506127,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59101017538895,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59101017571663,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59101017604431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59101017637199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59101017669967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59101017702735,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59101017735503,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59101017768271,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Polyptych-of-St_Poster_CompositorV1_1791851513783.jpg?v=1791851564","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/polyptych-of-st-peter-san-placido-pietro-perugino","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
