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.
The book combines biographical detail with close analysis of major works, including Signorelli’s fresco cycles at Orvieto. 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. Rich in illustrations, the volume helps readers understand the visual power and dramatic realism that mark his best paintings.
