Bernardino di Betto, called Pintoricchio, came out of Perugia to become one of the busiest decorators of Renaissance Rome. Evelyn March Phillipps follows his career through papal commissions, the brilliant frescoes he painted for Alexander VI in the Borgia Apartments, the Castel Sant’Angelo and his narrative cycle in Siena, setting his art against the colourful court that employed him.
