Historical Artist - Bernardino Fungai (1460 - 1516)
Although little is known about Bernardino Fungai’s career, he is thought to have studied
under local painters in his native city of Siena. His paintings show evidence of influence from
local Sienese painters and also Pietro Perugino. In 1482, he was working on frescoes for the
cupola in the Siena Cathedral. Fungai was commissioned in 1494 to decorate ceremonial banners
with gold and azure. Scholars are piecing together the details of his life by using an
altarpiece he created in 1512 for a Sienese church.
