Product Description
Review
"An excellent translation of a brilliant and stimulating thesis, well-produced and richly illustrated." -- Hugh Trevor Roper, The Listener "A cerebral detective story that uncovers the still pertinent bond between power and art." -- Village Voice "includes much valuable research on the involvement of Piero's probable patrons in the great political, religious and cultural events of the time." - London Review of Books "The persuasiveness of his brilliant chain of arguments is such that, in the end, the conclusions seem as firm as if based on first-hand documents." -- The Times
Product Description
Sifting the available evidence, Carlo Ginzburg builds up a vivid portrait of Piero della Francesca's patrons and convincingly explains the contemporary intrigues resonant in his paintings. This new edition includes additional material by Ginzburg dealing with the work of Roberto Longhi, the dating of the Arezzo Cycle and the rediscovery of della Francesca in the 20th century.
