Pinturicchio, properly Bernardino di Betto Vagio 1454-1513
Italian painter

Born in Perugia, he helped Perugino with the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel at Rome, and himself painted frescoes in several Roman churches and in the Vatican Library, as well as in Orvieto, Siena and elsewhere. His delight in brilliant colour and ornamental detail is evident in these lavish decorative schemes.
