Fodor's Review:
One of Florence's hidden treasures, a cool and composed Crucifixion by Perugino (circa 1445/50-1523), is in the chapter house of the monastery below this church. Here you can see the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist with Mary Magdalen and Sts. Benedict and Bernard of Clairvaux posed against a simple but haunting landscape. The figure of Christ crucified occupies the center of this brilliantly hued fresco. Perugino's colors radiate -- note the juxtaposition of the yellow-green cuff against the orange tones of the Magdalen's robe.
