A propos de cet article

HEAVY. 328 pages, illustated throughout with b/w photos, some in color, bibliography, index, illustrated end-papers. Upper page edges lightly foxed. Green cloth boards, with gilt titles on the front board and on the spine, in dust-jacket. The close-up photography of David Finn brings the viewer as close to the astonishing sculptures of the South, North and East Baptistery Doors as the artists were when first modelling their work more than 500 years ago, revealing a wealth of detail and incident. Kenneth Clark's introduction explains the original commission of the doors, their place in the art of the time, and examines their importance. George Robinson's commentaries connect the scriptural allusions, iconograpy and cultural background, illuminating the meaning incorporated into these bronze masterpieces. Size: 4to.
