An exciting journey inside the National Gallery of Umbria to discover how early Renaissance artists dealt with the mystery of the Incarnation.
Giving form to an idea that the mind cannot comprehend was the truest test for a painter. At that time, the cult of the Virgin was manifested through numerous miracles, culminating in the search for the famous relic of the Holy Ring.
This itinerary, therefore, associates the theme treated within the National Gallery of Umbria with a journey through the city in search of Marian devotion and its meaning.
The National Gallery offers a thematic selection on the Annunciation and the “Enclosed Garden.” This is complemented by a guided tour on the traces of the history of Marian devotion in Perugia, starting with the Cathedral of San Lorenzo with the Chapel of the Holy Ring and Our Lady of Grace.
