PUPPI (Lionello), ed. - Lot 227

PUPPI (Lionello), ed. Paris, Hazan. A major monograph devoted to Antonio Pisano, known as Pisanello (c. 1395–1455), one of the most brilliant representatives of the Italian International Gothic style. Edited by Lionello Puppi and featuring an introduction by Daniel Arasse, this volume offers an in-depth study of the life and work of the Veronese master. An exceptional painter, draftsman, and medalist, Pisanello succeeded in combining the courtly elegance inherited from the Middle Ages with the naturalistic observation that heralded the Renaissance. The volume reproduces in detail his frescoes, panels, drawings, and medals, highlighting his extraordinary sense of movement, animals, and landscape. Richly illustrated, this publication is one of the definitive overviews dedicated to this essential artist of the Quattrocento. A substantial in-4 volume with numerous color reproductions.
