Discover the life and art of Luca Signorelli through a careful, evidence-based portrait. This authoritative study by Maud Cruttwell traces the artist’s development from his Cortona origins to his Florentine training, examining how masters like Pier dei Franceschi, Donatello, and Antonio Pollaiuolo shaped his technique and bold, lifelike rendering.

It discusses how his figures, movement, and anatomy reflect a deep study of the human form, and it situates his style within the broader Renaissance landscape.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and artistic career of Luca Signorelli, a painter who rose to prominence in late 15th century Italy. The author delves into Signorelli's early training under Pier dei Franceschi in Arezzo, and later under the Florentine master Antonio Pollaiuolo, where he developed his remarkable mastery of human anatomy and movement. The book traces his artistic development through an analysis of his paintings, highlighting his unique ability to capture dynamic action, particularly within large groups of figures.
