Gozzoli 1420-1497 (Masters of Italian Art)

Rating:
Summary: An exquisite and affordable alternative
Review: Let's face it, this is not some hefty, pompous, highly erudite dissection of a Renaissance artist but for this price, you get one of the best bargain on the net. This is one of Konnemann's MASTERS OF ITALIAN ART series titles and like the others in the series, this 120-page hardcover is a sheer delight to own and keep. The book is divided into sections beginning with Benozzo Gozzoli's origin, early influences, and his various fresco works. Benozzo's famous fresco on Palazzo Medici-Ricardo in Florence receives a great 14-page coverage with detail illustrations including some impressive double spreads. Includes some nifty notes on fresco painting and THREE KINGS altarpieces.
