The Virgin appearing to St. Bernard is a painting by the Italian artist Pietro Perugino the main painter of the Umbrian school that was based in Perugia. The panel was executed as an altarpiece for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi in Florence. It was later acquired in 1829/30 for King Ludwig I of Bavaria from the Capponi in Florence and eventually made it to the Alte Pinakothek in Munich.
