The colors of the Renaissance,
By Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lorenzo Lotto: Rediscovered Master of the Renaissance (Hardcover)
The catalog for the 1998 Lotto exhibition at the National Gallery in Washington, this book is a good compendium of the artist's work with some impressive magnified details, even though many colored reproductions are somewhat dark and don't do justice to the skills of one of the best colorists of the Italian Renaissance.
The essays, written by authorities in the field (Peter Humphrey...) cover the entire output (religious paintings, portraits)and dwell on some interesting aspects of his paintings (the stories they tell, the metaphors they illustrate); an in-depth study of Lotto's relationship to oriental carpet making (he represented oriental carpets in six of his paintings) also makes for good reading and highlights a previously unknown aspect of his art. |
