Summary:
"The great painting cycles in the churches, the decorations of Renaissance palazzi, the rooms of the papal apartments, the Baroque ceilings of the Counter-Reformation ... A journey through the art of the fresco in Italy, from Trento to Palermo, a genre that sinks its roots in the ancient world, but that is also inextricably bound to European artistic culture."--Jacket.
