Miracles of St Bernardino

Miracles of St Bernardino is a series of eight tempera-on-panel paintings showing miracles associated with Bernardino of Siena. They date to 1473 and are now in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria.
Attributed to the "Master of 1473" or the "Studio of 1473" and influenced by Piero della Francesca, they involved several of the most notable Umbrian painters of the era such as Perugino, Pinturicchio and Piermatteo Lauro de' Manfredi da Amelia.
History.
In 1473 the Franciscan friars of Perugia commissioned Perugino and other artists to paint eight panels to hang above a niche holding a statue of Bernardino in the town's oratorio di San Bernardino. Bernardino had only be canonised in 1450. At least five hands took part in the commission. One of the best paintings in the series is "St Bernardino Curing a Young Girl", attributed to Perugino himself. "The Miracle of the Stillborn Child" is partly attributed to him. It is unknown when the series was taken down and later found rehung in the church of San Francesco al Prato in the town.
