Picturing Death: 1200–1600 explores the visual culture of mortality over the course of four centuries that witnessed a remarkable flourishing of imagery focused on the themes of death, dying, and the afterlife.

Parution : Dennis Geronimus et Michael W. Kwakkelstein (dir.), Piero di Cosimo, Painter of Faith and Fable, Leyde, Brill, 2019

Freed from the powerful spell of Vasari’s biography-cum-cautionary tale, the Piero...
