The Invisible Landscape: A Fascinating Hunt For The Real Landscapes Of Piero Della Francesca
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
As in the film Blow-Up by Antonioni, the story begins with a chance photographic enlargement which revealed an unexpected resemblance between certain Montefeltro landscapes and Piero della Francesca's paintings of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino in the Uffizi, which for years have been considered to be idealized landscapes. This coincidence might just have remained a superficial observation, but the two authors were not so easily satisfied, and their passionate and demanding research began among the hills and crags of the Montefeltro to uncover the exact places from which Piero could have painted his landscapes. This is the adventure story of a painter-photographer and a geomorphologist who tramped the countryside and analysed data using a logical and scientifically stringent method, while responding to new evidence which confirmed their initial intuition.
