_Giannicola Manni_ (Umbrian: 1475-1544).
Born at Città della Pieve, the native town of Perugino, whose
pupil and assistant he became. Several of his works may be
seen in the Pinacoteca at Perugia, of which town he was a
magistrate. He also executed the frescoes in the chapel
attached to the Sala del Cambio.
Notice the quaint "arabesques" on the Virgin's prie-dieu, or
praying-stool; they are characteristic of this painter.
