{"product_id":"piero-della-francesca-treccani-2","title":"Piero della Francesca - Treccani","description":"\u003cp\u003e Treccani dedicates a series of volumes to the great masters of Italian painting, addressing three major themes of universal painting: perspective, drawing, and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter the volume on Giotto, the theme of perspective continues with the volume on Piero della Francesca, which opens with an essay by Carlo Bertelli, professor emeritus of art history, and former Superintendent of Artistic and Historical Heritage of Milan, as well as director of the Brera Art Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The text traces the Master's biography and the evolution of his art through sources and a comparison, well documented by images, with that of his contemporaries. All of Piero's works are presented here by Bertelli in the chronological order suggested by dates and documents or deemed such by stylistic analysis. However, unlike current practice, the panels relating to the cycle of San Francesco in Arezzo do not follow the narrative order of the Golden Legend, which inspired the stories, but rather the sequence of the phases of execution. Thus, by browsing the rich photographic repertoire, the reader is able to trace the changes in vision and style throughout the master's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe volume concludes with the apparatus, with an updated catalogue of his works, illustrated with color images that facilitate identification and accompanied by information regarding dating, format, technique, and location. The updated bibliography provides an indispensable tool for navigating the mass of writings on the artist and the much-debated chronology of his works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Printed on high-quality paper, bound in full-grain, pit-tanned leather with vegetable dyes and no chemical additives. Gold embellishments and stampings on the front cover and spine. The slipcase is made of the same leather as the book. The printing is four-color with a high-definition stochastic screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe engraving on the plate, made with wire to create the punch for hot gold stamping, is taken from Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta praying before Saint Sigismondo, a fresco by Piero della Francesca, Rimini, Tempio Malatestiano, 1451. The volume is enriched by 12 plates on fine paper, taken from De prospectiva pingendi by Piero della Francesca; the manuscript is preserved in the Panizzi Library in Reggio Emilia in the Reggio Emilia manuscripts section (ca. 1472-1492, written by a 15th-century copyist).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azzola Ferruccio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218388169090,"sku":"FAZZ010","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/piero-della-francesca.jpg?v=1768473195","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/piero-della-francesca-treccani-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
