Description
Creighton Gilbert's study of the frescoes of the Cappella Nuova in the cathedral of Orvieto explains the commissioning, iconography and structure of this extraordinary cycle of paintings, begun by Fra Angelico in the early 1400s and completed a half-century later by Luca Signorelli.
“This fascinating study examines the frescoes of the Cappella Nuova of the Cathedral of Orvieto—frescoes begun by Fra Angelico but largely executed some 50 years later by Signorelli. . . . Engagingly and clearly written, the book is appropriate for undergraduates, but offers a wealth of material to scholars.”
