Pesellino: A Renaissance Master Revealed (Llewellyn Laura)(Paperback) - diskuze

This catalogue introduces the little-known Renaissance artist Pesellino, exploring his exquisite miniatures, his narrative cassone panels, and grand altarpieces During his brief but varied career, Francesco Pesellino (c. 1422-1457) rose to notable heights, receiving prestigious commissions from the pope and becoming a favourite of Florence's ruling Medici family. His death at the age of only 35 cut short a rising star of the early Renaissance. Praised as a painter of "cose picole" (small things), Pesellino was a remarkable draughtsman and miniaturist, excelling in fine details and the characterful depiction of animals. His works were not limited to those on a small scale, however: he was also an accomplished painter of grand altarpieces. This catalogue introduces Pesellino's work to a wider audience and celebrates his extraordinary abilities. Beautifully illustrated
