_L' Ingegno_ (Umbrian: painted 1484-1511).
This is the only picture, says the Official Catalogue, which
can be authenticated "with something like certainty" as the
work of Andrea di Luigi, of Assisi. His name occurs in receipts
and registers from 1505 to 1511, in the capacity of procurator,
arbitrator, auditor to the magistracy, and finally of papal
cashier at Assisi. It was perhaps this "talent" for affairs
that won him the name of "L' Ingegno." Vasari says he was the
most promising disciple of Perugino, and the resemblance to
that artist in this picture is strong. Compare for instance
even so small a thing as the dress patterns here with those in
288, as also the close resemblance to the "purist" landscape
there described.
