In this authoritative study, Marilyn Aronberg Lavin presents a meticulous and illuminating examination of this legendary cycle, the Legend of the True Cross, situating it within the rich intellectual and devotional culture of fifteenth-century Italy and unraveling the complex theological and narrative programs that make it one of the supreme achievements of Renaissance painting.\n\nLavin, one of the foremost authorities on Piero della Francesca, brings formidable scholarly rigour to bear on questions of iconography, spatial construction, and pictorial narrative, arguing persuasively for a reading of the cycle that is at once visually precise and historically grounded. Her analysis reveals how Piero's mastery of light, perspective, and monumental form transcends mere decoration to become a profound meditation on sacred history and divine order. For anyone seeking to understand why the frescoes at Arezzo remain a pilgrimage site for art lovers the world over, this volume offers an indispensable key.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160809677019,"sku":"2026200011993-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/414a985d-5820-485b-bb0a-bb83be5ab998.png?v=1787187713","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011993-secondhand-piero-della-francesca-san-francesco-arezzo","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
