"Superbly produced catalogue, which contains illuminating essays"--Malcolm Bull, The Burlington Magazine "Vital for researching this artist, and will surely spur further scholarship on de Mura"--Alexander Watkins, ARLIS/NA Reviews "As one looks at these elegant, colourful paintings one cannot but feel a sadness that a third of his work was lost...but as this book succinctly proves there still remains much to enjoy"--Tim Forrest's E & A, "Superbly produced catalogue, which contains illuminating essays"--Malcolm Bull, The Burlington Magazine "Pithy topical reports by the likes of Nicola Spinosa and Loredana Gazzara, among others"--Thomas Loughman, The Art Newspaper "Vital for researching this artist, and will surely spur further scholarship on de Mura"--Alexander Watkins, ARLIS/NA Reviews "As one looks at these elegant, colourful paintings one cannot but feel a sadness that a third of his work was lost...but as this book succinctly proves there still remains much to enjoy"--Tim Forrest's E & A, "Superbly produced catalogue, which contains illuminating essays"--Malcolm Bull, The Burlington Magazine "As one looks at these elegant, colourful paintings one cannot but feel a sadness that a third of his work was lost...but as this book succinctly proves there still remains much to enjoy"--Tim Forrest's E & A

Synopsis
This is the first-ever scholarly publication devoted to the art of Francesco de Mura (1696-1782), one of the greatest painters of the Golden Age of Naples. De Mura's refined and elegant compositions, with their exquisite light and coloring, heralded the rococo, and his later style was a precursor of Neo-Classicism. His ceiling frescoes at Monte Cassino, destoyed in World War II, rivalled those of his celebrated Venetian contemporary, Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770). Yet today, he lacks his proper place in the history of art. This volume demonstrates why it is now time to reevaluate this once-celebrated artist.

- p***p (74)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOne of the best e-Bay buying experiences I've ever had. The item was exactly as described, and exactly what I wanted. (The price was so good, I was momentarily concerned that perhaps I was getting a smaller version of the deck I ordered, but no, it was exactly what I wanted. And the item was well-packed! We've had lots of rain in our area lately, and some other shipments from places like A***** had gotten damaged when they were left on my porch. Not this one!Heaven & Earth Tarot Kit (#376250732406)
