ITALIAN FRESCOES: THE FLOWERING OF THE RENAISSANCE 1470-1510

by Steffi Roettgen

Published by Abbeville Press. Circa. 1997

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Professor Roettgen's concise and authoritative text illuminates such celebrated sites as the Tornabuoni Chapel in Florence, the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, and the Camera degli Sposi in Mantua. She also reveals the charm of lesser-known works, such as those in the tiny town of Issogne, which capture fifteenth-century men and women bargaining and flirting at an outdoor market. Ver large, heavy format. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour illustrations throughout.

3rd printing of the first edition. This copy would make a wonderful gift. Pictorial dustwrapper is lovely and clean.
