There are three paintings in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament by Giorgio Vasari, the painter, architect and historian from Arezzo. A careful and precise expression of 16th century mannerism, brought to Perugia by one of the most faithful of Michelangelo’s followers, the canvasses are witness to Vasari’s mastery of painting, an art in which he had already acquired substantial practice in the palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome, the refectory of the Church of Sant’Anna dei Lombardi in Naples, and the Sala dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
