Synopsis
The book published by Charta on Peter Greenaway's Last Supper shows the most famous painting in the world as probably only Leonardo and his helpers saw it with the help of torches, the only means of lighting at the time.
The photography from which the printing devices were created for this publication is in a resolution that has never been obtained before, and it is the largest reproduction of the fresco to date. All this makes our book unique, and each and every page reveals details that only restorers have had the possibility of discovering, strokes of genius and nuances that no one except them and Leonardo have seen. This is the only book of its kind that allows readers to get so close to the fresco they can almost . . . touch it. All thanks to the genius of Peter Greenaway.

Product Description
Language: English, italian - 160 pages - color illustrations - Edizione bilingue italiano/inglese - Il libro pubblicato da Charta sull'Ultima Cena di Peter Greenaway mostra il dipinto più famoso del mondo come probabilmente solo Leonardo e i suoi ragazzi di bottega lo vedevano alla luce delle torce, l'illuminazione di quel tempo. La fotografia dalla quale sono stati realizzati gli impianti per la stampa del volume è ad una definizione mai raggiunta in precedenza ed è la più grande realizzata fino ad oggi dell'affresco; questo rende il nostro un libro unico, che pagina dopo pagina rivela particolari che solo i restauratori hanno avuto la possibilità di scoprire, raffinatezze e sfumature che nessuno tranne loro e Leonardo hanno veduto. L'unico libro al mondo che permette al lettore di avvicinarsi così tanto all'affresco da poterlo quasi... toccare. Tutto grazie al genio di Peter Greenaway.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. Since 2006, iconoclastic British filmmaker Peter Greenaway has been engaged in a project to reinvigorate some of the most iconic paintings in the history of art in an attempt to get people to look at them again in a new way. Using audio and projectors, Greenaway barrages the selected paintings with imagery, cinema, poetry and special effects. Of his 2006 intervention with Rembrandt's The Nightwatch (1642), the filmmaker recalls, "We burned it, flooded it and covered it in blood, but if you go there today you will find it completely untouched." This volume is published concurrently with Greenaway's performance of Leonardo's Last Supper (2008) in the Refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie friary, where Leonardo da Vinci painted his famous masterpiece. This multi-media event will take place on the occasion of the 2008 Milan Furniture Fair. Da Vinci expert Martin Kemp, Professor of Art History at Oxford University, observes, "Greenaway has a terrific understanding of how painters work, which is not true of every filmmaker. There's no need to be stuffy about these things. If Leonardo had been around he would have been into moving images. You get the sense that he wanted his paintings to move." 160 pages.
