Creation of Eve   

by:   Perino      patron:   Crucifix      category: Fresco    location: Chapel of the Crucifix

note:  Perino's work here was noted in Vasari (1550); in addition, the contract for the commision is noted in: A. Vannugli, "L'arciconfraternita del SS. Crocifisso e la sua cappella in San Marcello" Ricerche per la storia religiosa di Roma 5 (1984): 429-443; Gigli, San Marcello al Corso 92-100. The beginning date of 1520 proposed to account for arrival of Perino in Rome (circa 1516) and his ascent to more independent projects around the time of Raphael's death.
