Product Description
This book examines and explains the appearance, function and uses of painting in one of the day's most important cultural centers. Monks from the Carnaldolese house of Santa Maria degli Angeli had access to some of the most innovative paintings produced in Florence between 1350 and 1425. Leading painters of the day, like Nardo di Cione and Lorenzo Monaco, filled manuscripts and decorated altars with richly ornamented pictures that related directly to liturgical passages recited - and theological positions embraced - by members of the institution.
