Benedetto Bonfigli (c.
1420 – July 8, 1496) was an Italian Renaissance painter born in Perugia, and part of the Umbria school of painters including Raphael and Perugino.
He is also known as Buonfiglio.
Influenced by the style of Domenico Veneziano, Benozzo Gozzoli, and Fra Angelico, Bonfigli primarily painted frescos for the church and was at one point employed in the Vatican.
His best preserved work is the Annunication, but his masterpiece is the decoration of the chapel of the Palazzo dei Priori.
Bonfigli specialized in gonfaloni, a Perugian style using banners painted on canvas or linen.
Little is known of his personal life, but he was an esteemed painter in Perugia before Perugino, who is said to be his pupil.
