Painted Glories by Nicholas A Eckstein
Today, tens of thousands of people visit the Brancacci Chapel annually to gaze at the brilliant frescoes of Saint Peter's life. This examination positions the frescoes at the heart of Tuscan society and culture. It explores the Chapel's history, medieval culture, and art patronage.
‘In the age of the blockbuster exhibition here is a vivid reminder that there is nothing to rival the pleasure of seeing great art within its proper context’—Honor Clerk, The Spectator.
