Bernardino of Mariotto, who was born in Perugia and probably trained there under Ludovico di Angelo. He moved to San Severino in the Marche early in his career: his earliest known workis a signed panel (1498) of the Madonna and Child in Bastia, near Fabriano. He returned to Perugia in 1521, bringing with him his pupil Marino di Antonio Samminucci (see below). He lived to a great age before dying in his native city in 1566.
Perugia
[Early works attributed to him
-
✴panel in Palazzo Connestabile Della Staffa (Madonna and Child, in which the baby Jesus holds a bird, with SS Jerome and Sebastian);
-
✴panel in Collezione Salvatori (Christ in a mandorla, holding a cross, between seraphs, standing on a podium beside a Eucharistic chalice)]
Madonna and Child with donor (1492)
The inscription at the base of this panel reveals that it was commissioned by a Benedictine nun, Giacoma di Baldo Perigli as an ex voto offering. It is sometimes attributed to Bernardino di Mariotto, but has more recently been attributed to his teacher, Ludovico di Angelo. It was transferred from San Francesco delle Donne to the Accademia di Belle Arti in 1810 and is now in the deposit of the Galleria Nazionale.
The panel depicts the Madonna and Child, with a nun kneeling to the left. She must be Sister Giacoma di Baldo Perigli, who was presumably a member of the community at San Francesco delle Donne.
Coronation of the Virgin (ca. 1528)

The altarpiece depicts Christ crowning the Virgin in a mandorla of clouds and seraphim, with a pair of musical angels below. Another pair of angels above carry garland of jewels and flowers.
Madonna and Child with saints (ca. 1530)

Mystical Marriage of St Catherine (ca. 1530)

The altarpiece depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned, with a dove representing the Holy Spirit above and the young St John the Baptist below. SS Catherine of Alexandria and Peter stand to the left, and St Mary Magdalene and a bishop saint stand to the right. The Madonna holds the hand of St Catherine while the baby Jesus places a ring on her wedding finger.
Altarpiece of the Olivetans (1533)
The recently-discovered inscription records that Andrea di Narduccio gave this altarpiece to “the brothers” (i.e. the Olivetan monks of San Secondo, Isole Polvese del Trasimeno) in 1533. It is attributed to Bernardino di Mariotto. When the monks abandoned San Secondo in 1624 for Sant’ Antonio Abate, Perugia, they brought the altarpiece with them. It was recorded there in the 19th century, but it seems to have passed to the Camaldolesian church of San Severo before its entry into the Galleria Nazionale in 1863. It is now in the deposit of the Galleria Nazionale.
The altarpiece depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned with SS Andrew (the name saint of the donor) and Julian. According to a late tradition, the latter is a portrait of Gianpaolo Baglioni.
St Laurence (1562)

Madonna and Child with Saints (16th century)
This panel, which is attributed to Bernardino di Mariotto, passed from San Francesco delle Donne to the Accademia di Belle Arti in 1810 and is now in the deposit of the Galleria Nazionale. It depicts the Madonna and Child with the young St John the Baptist and SS Benedict and Francis.
