Description:
|
On the recommendation of Giulio Romano and Giovanni Francesco Penni, Perino joined Raphael’s workshop in about 1516, where he learnt stuccowork and how to design grotesques. He assisted Giovanni da Udine in the Vatican Logge. Panels painted to look like bronze reliefs became a specialty for him. Back in Rome by 1538, Pope Paul III ordered decorations for the spalliera below Michelangelo’s Last Judgement (tempera on canvas; Rome, Gal. Spada) and for the basamento of Raphael’s frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura. The stanza basamento is in the form of simulated bronze reliefs surrounded by grisaille decorations. The original wooden wainscoting had been destroyed, probably in the Sack of Rome in 1527. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
