Treballa amb nosaltres

Limited first edition of 999 copies
How do you represent the divine and the central miracles of Christianity? Divine Presence explores this question through the captivating world of marble representations in Late Gothic and Early Renaissance art.

This groundbreaking study reveals how painters including Fra Angelico, Bellini, Crivelli and Mantegna transformed depictions of marble from mere decoration into a powerful theological tool. By blending naturalistic detail with imaginative color and texture, these artists created visual meditations on creation, incarnation, resurrection, and divine presence. Their pioneering use of paint foreshadows much later artistic movements and gestures; their works made the ineffable visible, inviting viewers to glimpse heaven through pigment and stone.

The first visual study of this widespread visual phenomenon, Divine Presence offers fresh insights for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and history buffs. Through stunning imagery, original research, and engaging texts, this book uncovers the spiritual and devotional power of painted marble in the art of the Late Gothic and Early Renaissance.

Sophisticated and timeless in design, with luxurious finishes such as fine book cloth, a gilded edge, and high-quality paper, make this volume - printed in Italy - a precious gift and an object to treasure.
