Description
'La Sacra Conversazione di Piero della Francesca' by Millard Meiss is a scholarly study of Piero della Francesca’s celebrated 'Brera Altarpiece', one of the major masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. Meiss examines the painting’s composition, iconography, style and historical context, considering the meaning of the Madonna and Child surrounded by saints and the kneeling Federico da Montefeltro. The study explores Piero’s distinctive treatment of space, light and geometric form, as well as the religious and political ideas embedded in the work. It offers a detailed art-historical interpretation of one of Piero’s most important paintings.
