Description
"Masolino de Panicale" is a study of the life and works of the early 15th century Florentine artist (active 1423-1435), who is best known for his collaboration with Masaccio on the frescos of the Brancacci Chapel of Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence, restored to their original brilliance in 1983-1988. This book aims to fill a gap in the literature on Italian Renaissance art. Perri Lee Roberts discusses the nature of Masolino's and Masaccio's collaboration and their styles. She includes up-to-date information about the newly-cleaned frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel and other works by Masolino, a detailed analysis of his works in chronological order, a discussion of his patrons and an evaluation of his place in the history of early Renaissance painting. Two appendices contain all the known documents concerning Masolino and a catalogue raisonne of his accepted, related and rejected works.
