• Resumen

  • In May 1496 five local artists openend a shared workshop in Perugia, creating a painters' cooperative, known as the Società del 1496. An analysis of the formation and operation of their enterprise, their active civic roles, individual and collaborative works and their costs, as well as their interrelations with the more famous painters active in the city -Perugino, Pintoricchio, and Raphael- provides a more complete picture of the society's integral position in Renaissance Perugia. What emerges is a greater understanding of how communal artistic production was designed to meet the increading demand for art in central Italy around 1500.
