Samenvatting
Fifteenth-century Italian painter Piero della Francesca's work represents a synthesis of Italian painting, with its focus on perspective and space, and Netherlandish painting, which stressed light and natural phenomena. This beautiful book offers a full-scale chronological and critical account of Piero's art. 190 illustrations, 150 in color.

This is an important and luxurious study of one of the founders of the Italian Renaissance.
