Chiara Fancelli

Chiara Fancelli (died 21 May 1541) was a figure in Florentine history, best known as the daughter of the architect Luca Fancelli and the wife and model of Pietro Perugino.[1]

Her precise birth date and birthplace are unknown. She married Perugino on 1 September 1493, bringing a dowry of five gold florins. She had three sons and two daughters with him[2] and was the model for his Madonnas from 1494 onwards.[3] On 6 October 1524, after her husband's death, she wrote to Isabella d'Este to offer her his Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan for her studiolo, but d'Este refused it.[4] She was buried in the cloister of the dead at Santissima Annunziata, Florence.
