Product Description
Synopsis
What makes a masterpiece? And what exactly does an art historian see and think about when he looks at a painting? In this classic guide to Piero della Francesca's work, John Pope-Hennessy takes the paintings and frescoes one by one, describing the stories they portray, their meticulous composition and the questions about them that remain unanswered. This volume also includes Aldous Huxley's 'The Best Picture', the famous essay that inspired Pope-Hennessy to seek out the luminous works that now constitute the pilgrimage known as The Piero della Francesca Trail.
