Excerpt from Perugino

In 1486 Perugino left Rome, and the next twenty years of his life were spent in continual wanderings. The practical business qualities of the man, his energy and industry, were as remarkable as his artistic genius. He had workshops both in Perugia and Florence, where he employed a number of scholars and assistants to execute the orders which reached him from all parts of Italy; while he himself traveled backwards and forwards between the two cities, and found time to visit many other places and to undertake many other commissions. In 1489 he went to Orvieto, where he agreed to finish the work that Fra Angelico had left undone in one of the chapels of the cathedral. In 1491 he was back in Rome, decorating the palace of Cardinal della Rovere, who had imperiously desired the citizens of Orvieto 'to send him back his favorite artist. In 1494 he visited Venice, and entered into an agreement (which he never fulfilled) to paint the Council Hall of the Ducal Palace. In March, 1496, he was at Perugia, a few months later he paid a second visit to Venice, and in the following year spent several months at the little town of F ano, painting a large altar-piece.
