About This Item
London: Sotheby's Publications, 1990. Hardcover. VG/VG (slight foxing to block edges). Burgundy cloth boards with gilt lettering on front and spine, color illustrated dust jacket, 167 pp, richly illustrated in bw and color. "Melozzo worked mostly in fresco, and his work, which has suffered relatively badly in the course of time, is sometimes tantalizingly difficult to assess. The book surverys first the miscellaneous range of attributed early works, but is chiefly devoted to his greatest works, in the apse of Santi Apostoli in Rome, in the Vatican Library, and in the Holy House at Loreto. This is the first monograph on Melozzo to have appeared for fifty years, although knowledge of the context in which he worked has been immeasurably enriched since nineteenth-century scholars rediscovered the quality of the artist previously occluded by the shadow of Michelangelo and Raphael. Nicholas Clark's text is accompanied by more than 60 new colour plates which illustrate the complete works of Melozzo and by approximately 100 comparative illustrations ni black and white." - dust jacket.
