Giorgio Vigni instructs the reader through 84 plates, including four in colour, illustrating Antonello’s precision in portraiture, his mastery of light, and his synthesis of Flemish realism with Italian linear perspective. The volume argues for Antonello’s pivotal role in bridging Northern and Southern Renaissance aesthetics, with particular emphasis on his psychological depth and compositional clarity.
