'''Pere Serra''' was a  painter in Gothic-Italian style, who was active in [Catalonia](/source/Catalonia) in 1357–1406.

He was born into a family of  painters, including his brothers [Jaume](/source/Jaume_Serra_(artist)), Francesc and Joan. Like most of the Catalan painters of the period, he was influenced by the contemporary Italian painting, especially from [Siena](/source/Sienese_school). He entered the workshop of [Ramón Destorrents](/source/Ram%C3%B3n_Destorrents) in 1357 and, together with his brothers, painted the altarpiece of the [monastery of Santa María de Sigena](/source/monastery_of_Santa_Mar%C3%ADa_de_Sigena), now in the [Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya](/source/Museu_Nacional_d'Art_de_Catalunya) in [Barcelona](/source/Barcelona).

Other works from Pere Serra include the ''Arrival of the Holy Spirit'' in the [cathedral of Manresa](/source/cathedral_of_Manresa) (1394), considered his masterwork, an altarpiece with Saints in the [Monastery of Sant Cugat](/source/Monastery_of_Sant_Cugat) (1375), a ''[Virgin with Six Musician Angels](/source/Virgin_of_the_Angels)'', and ''Annunciation'' in the [Pinacoteca di Brera](/source/Pinacoteca_di_Brera) in [Milan](/source/Milan).
