Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Signorelli’s Orvieto Frescoes: A Guide to the Cappella Nuovo of Orvieto Cathederal Luca Signorelli (1445-1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter from Cortona, in Tuscany, who was noted in particular for his ability as a draftsman and his use of foreshortening. His massive frescos of the Last Judgment (1499) in Orvieto Cathedral are considered his masterpiece. The Opera del Duomo of Orvieto Cathedral has published this volume as the first in a series of books designed to explore the beauty of the Cathedral, to reassess the historical events surrounding its construction and decoration, and to identify the personalities whose vision produced it and the presence of the Living Word who declared “Behold, I make everything new.” (Revelation of St John, 21.5). The interpretation of the Last Things as visualized by Fra Angelico and Luca Signorelli in the frescoes of the Cappella Nuova (Chapel of St Brizio), has been entrusted to Dugald McLellan of the University of Sydney who has detected in these awesome images, themselves painted on the eve of a new century, ground for hope for peace and civil concord at the start of the new millennium. This is the type of book you would purchase at the gift shop to guide you along your tour. But if you're like most of us and are unlikely to visit in person, this book gives you a virtual tour, including all the artistic details and historical context. The highlight, though, are the amazing colour photos & close-ups, which are on pretty much every page. A fascinating resource for the tourist, historian, and so on! The book is a softcover, measuring about 6 x 9 inches. It was published in Milan, in 1998. It is 78 pages long, with a selection of photographs & illustrations. Book is used, but in very good condition - no writing, no stains or soiling, clean cover & tight spine. Top bidder should add $6.99 for postage within Canada, or $12.99 for mailing to the USA. I have other, similar books up for sale now, so please check them out too! Multiple books always combined to save on postage, & full refund if you’re not happy. Thanks for looking!
