"Zorzi da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione: an artist whose documented works are only four -- and only one has come down to us -- mentioned in archival documents that can be counted on the fingers of one hand and of which each reconstruction is entirely hypothetical. Yet, after a career span of just over ten years, Giorgione has achieved a fame remaining unchanged over the centuries. Starting from Giovanni Bellini's lessons in spirituality and harmony between man and nature, and from the use of colour by Giovan Battista Cima da Conegliano, the master of Castelfranco offers a highly peculiar synthesis of harmonious lyricism, immersing bodies and landscape into a soft and dense light. It is the tonal painting that, set by Cima and Bellini, with Giorgione turns into the language of initiation of the formidable brood becoming the protagonist of the great Venetian Cinquecento, the season of Palma il Vecchio, Sebastiano del Piombo and Titian."--Back cover of dust jacket.

Hans Memling was one of the most important, prolific and versatile painters active in 15th-century Bruges, and one of the leading artists of the Early Netherlandish School. Commissioned by Abbot Jan Crabbe, one of Memling's most signifcant and erudite patrons, the triptych of the Crucifixion - in particular its wings, with their complex and meticulously conceived background landscapes and the convincing realism of the portraits - ostentatiously demonstrate Memling's skills and ambitions. Completed around 1470, the triptych was dismembered in the 18th century. Two panels from the altarpiece are among the finest paintings owned by the Morgan Library & Museum, where they are on permanent view in Pierpont Morgan's Study. "Hans Memling. Portraiture, piety, and a reunited altarpiece" accompanies the first museum exhibition to explore the reconstructed masterpiece in context. Underscoring this great artist's impact, the book also examines Early Netherlandish drawings from the Morgan's collection, works ranging from the early compositional studies and figure drawings to a group of portrait drawings made in the generation after Memling and under his influence. Exhibition: Morgan Library and Museum, New York, USA (2.9.2016-8.1.2017).
