Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book centers around Pinturicchio, a late 15th-century painter and one of the most talented assistants of Perugino, a well-known artist of his time. The author, an art historian, sheds light on Pinturicchio's role in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel walls and the impact his unique style and contributions had in shaping the Sistine's overall beauty and fame. The book reveals Pinturicchio's growth from his early apprenticeship under Perugino to his blossoming as an independent artist capable of producing masterpieces like the frescoes in the Cappella Bufalini and the Appartamento Borgia. An analysis of his most notable works, such as the Baptism of Christ, The Annunciation, and The Resurrection of Christ, offers profound insights into the techniques, themes, and iconography employed by Pinturicchio. Through a close study of these paintings, the author draws parallels between Pinturicchio and his contemporaries like Botticelli and Signorelli, positioning Pinturicchio within the broader context of the Umbrian School and the Italian Renaissance.
