Author: Laurence B. Kanter , Tom Henry 276902, Luca Signorelli
Title: Luca Signorelli
Description: Thames & Hudson, 2002. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 272. Illustrated with stunning colour plates, this book re-evaluate Signorelli`s importance and catalogue his oeuvre. Born around 1450, Signorelli began his apprenticeship under Piero della Francesca before going on to study with Andrea del Verrocchio, in whose workshop Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Lorenzo di Credi and Pietro Perugino also learned their art. Signorelli worked throughout central Italy for some of the greatest patrons of the age, earning himself a reputation as one of the leading painters of his generation. Recently restored - and here exquisitely reproduced - the extraordinary cycle of frescoes of the Last Judgment in the Cappella Nova at Orvieto, are rightly considered a highpoint of the Italian Renaissance. They reveal in all their force and glory the artist`s skill as a colourist of the first rank and as one of the supreme exponents of the male nude. In a detailed life of the artist, Laurence Kanter traces his career from its origins in Piero`s workshop to his late work in Tuscany and Umbria. In the catalogue, Tom Henry presents the artist`s entire painted oeuvre, while in a separate plate section he discusses twenty-one of his most important works. ISBN: 9780500093054. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
