Collegio del Cambio frescos

The Collegio del Cambio frescos are a series of allegorical fresco paintings in the Audience Chamber (Sala delle Udienze) of the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia, painted by Perugino.

In 1452 the Arte del Cambio was authorised to set up a headquarters near the fringes of the palazzo dei Priori.

In 1496 they decided to commission Perugino to decorate the building's Audience Chamber.

His assistants on the project included Andrea d'Assisi and probably the young Raphael for the figure of Strength and the face of Solomon.

Vasari praised it in his Lives of the Artists: This very beautiful work was praised more than any other which Pietro [Vanucci] painted in Perugia, and today the inhabitants of this town value it as a memory of a highly esteemed representative of their fatherland.
