Description
In this beautifully illustrated volume, with 254 black and white photos and 93 color plates, artist Fra Carnevale (c. 1420-1425–1484) emerges from his previously obscure, quasi-legendary status as a well-defined and pivotal artist in early Renaissance Florence. The authors take us from Filippo Lippi's workshop in Florence to Urbino, the capital of Federico da Montefeltro's duchy, where Piero della Francesca and other painters and sculptors informed Fra Carnevale's development as an artist.
"This book is by no means a dry trail through the archives.... [The] outstanding scholarly essays, the critical catalogue and the fascinating technical apparatus appended to the main text, all make a very good case for [Fra Carnevale] to take his rightful place ... in our understanding of Italy as a whole at this seminal moment."—Art Book
