The art of the fresco, specifically Italian, is, he explains to us, "magnificent and difficult". With the buon fresco (that is to say between the 13th and 18th centuries), this art produced its masterpieces. We know the primitive fresco technique thanks to the manual written in 1400 by Cennino Cennini. On the other hand, there is no similar treatise for the processes used in the 15th century by Masaccio, Castagno or Piero della Francesca. Millard Meiss, in the introduction, explains the technique; he comments on it in the notices that accompany the reproductions. He also made a point of marking, with a few examples, the filiation of the great era of frescoes with Roman and Byzantine art as well as its extensions in the 17th and 18th centuries. The prodigious variety and the exceptional quality of the color reproductions, the importance of the frescoes and sinopias presented make this book an instrument of choice for all lovers of art and history.
