Signorelli, also known as Pietro Signorelli, was an Italian painter who lived from 1441 to 1523. He is best known for his frescoes in the Camera della Fama, painted in 1548. One of his most famous works is the portrait of a man found in this room, which showcases Signorelli's skill at capturing the essence and personality of his subjects. In addition to portraiture, Signorelli was also renowned for his religious paintings. The Assumption of the Virgin with Saints Michael and Benedict, created between 1493 and 1496, exemplifies his ability to depict divine figures with grace and beauty. Another notable work by Signorelli is Madonna and Child from around 1505-1507. This painting displays a tender moment between Mary and baby Jesus while showcasing the artist's mastery of color and composition. Signorelli's talent extended beyond serene scenes; he also excelled at depicting dramatic moments. The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian (ca. 1498) portrays the intense suffering endured by this Christian martyr with striking realism. The Stoning of Saint Stephen (1500-1505) further demonstrates Signorelli's ability to capture emotion through art. The painting depicts Stephen being stoned to death while maintaining a sense of movement and turmoil within its composition. One cannot discuss Signorelli without mentioning his devotion to depicting saints. The Madonna and Child with Saint John and Saint Jerome (1491) showcases both religious figures alongside Mary holding baby Jesus—a testament to Signorelli's commitment to representing spiritual themes accurately. Lastly, we have Saint Roch (ca. 1515-1520), another example of Signorelli's exceptional skill in portraying saints' lives through artistry that captures their piety as well as their human struggles.
