Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. Edition originale. Title: La vita e le opere di LIPPO DI DALMASIO : "Assai valente pittore" Author: Boggi, Flavio ; Robert Gibbs Price: euro 125.00 ISBN: 9788873958468 Description: Bologna: Bononia University Press, 2014. 28cm., hardcover, 200pp. illus., most in color. Summary: Lippo di Dalmasio fu il più celebrato dei pittori bolognesi del primo Rinascimento e finì per incarnare, agli occhi di quanti scrissero d?arte durante la Controriforma, un passato religioso ideale. La sua fama fu dovuta sia alla qualità delle sue opere sia alla sistematicità con cui le aveva firmate, assicurandosi che il suo ricordo perdurasse e fosse tramandato alla posterità. Già nel Seicento, Lippo era stato trasformato in una figura leggendaria, un carmelitano la cui arte si era configurata come un atto di devozione personale. Discendente da una famiglia dell?aristocrazia bolognese che contava grandi maestri ? il padre, Dalmasio degli Scannabecchi, e lo zio, Simone dei Crocefissi, il più prolifico di tutti i pittori bolognesi del Trecento ? Lippo svolse la sua attività artistica fra Pistoia e Bologna, città in cui ricoprì anche incarichi pubblici, fra cui quello di notaio e quello di giudice. Questa monografia, la prima dedicata all?artista e pubblicata inizialmente in lingua inglese, è stata ampliata, rivista e riccamente illustrata appositamente per l?edizione italiana. Il volume indaga le origini dell?arte di Lippo e la sua fortuna critica, e presenta un catalogo ragionato delle sue opere documentate e di quelle a lui attribuite. L?intento degli autori è stato quello di offrire un valido strumento agli storici dell?arte e a chi si occupa della storia politica dell?Italia del Trecento e del Quattrocento, oltre che ai musei e ai mercanti d?arte che richiedano fondamenti sicuri per l?attribuzione e la valutazione del sostanzioso corpus delle sue opere, disseminate fra numerose collezioni e in alcuni casi ancora in mano a privati. Con il vivo auspicio di restituire a Lippo il posto che merita tra i più importanti artisti europei. Quantity: 1 Language : Italian text. …
