Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The Great Fresco Cycles of the Renaissance series. I8x10 inches oblong. 95 pages including bibliography and glossary of fresco terms. 33 Illustrations many in Colour. Clean and tight. The magnificent frescoes in chapels and town halls across Italy together represent one of the greatest achievements of Renaissance art. Commissioned both by private patrons and by the Church, artists such as Giotto, Masaccio, Michelangelo, and Piero della Francesca responded with images of matchless beauty. Each volume in thisseries, written by a leading scholar, sets one outstanding fresco cycle in its artistic and historical contexts, illustrating it with a complete set of the highest quality color reproductions. The grand style of painting begun by Giotto and continued by Masaccio, Mantegna, and other leading artists of the fifteenth century reached an apex in the breathtaking frescoes of one of the most spectacular rooms of the Vatican, the Stanza della Segnatura. Recognizing the precocious talent of Raphael, then age twenty-six, Pope Julius II commissioned the artist in 1509 to paint four monumental murals and numerous smaller scenes that gave visual form to the enlightened world of the Renaissance. Guided by the leading scholars of his day, Raphael chose themes that glorified the four branches of learning required for a general education, particularly that of a pope: Theology, Poetry, Jurisprudence, and Philosophy. The painting of the latter, perhaps best known today as "The School of Athens," shows Plato and Aristotle striding through a vast, open hallway and flanked by scientists and philosophers of the ancient world; rediscovered in the Renaissance, they hold a convention where they discuss issues that will inspire a new age. The frescoes of the Stanza della Segnatura, majestic and varied compositions, convey lofty ideals: humanity striving for a higher civilization and intellectual perfection. Visual unions of science, philosophy, and art, they embody the unsurpassed creativity of the High Renaissance. Size: Obl Sm 4to.…
