Scuola di Foligno

The Scuola di Foligno was a Renaissance-era art school founded in the late 15th century in Foligno, Italy. It was renowned for fostering the development of local artists, notably Perugino, who contributed to its reputation. The school emphasized the study of naturalism, perspective, and classical principles, encouraging artists to observe and depict the human figure and landscapes more realistically. As a regional atelier, it played a significant role in regional artistic innovation and helped bridge the styles of central Italy, influencing the broader Renaissance movement.
