This final volume in the series of three presents twenty-two fresco cycles, including brilliant works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Andrea del Sarto, Parmigianino, Bronzino, Veronese, and Carracci—all of which are still visible on walls and ceilings of palaces and churches spanning Italy from the Veneto to Rome. Included are such celebrated sites as the Sistine Chapel in Rome and Palladio's Villa Barbaro in Maser, as well as lesser known gems. Descriptive and interpretive essays on each of the cycles touch on all aspects of fresco painting: the artists and their patrons, cultural and historical conditions, local traditions, and technique. Each essay concludes with a diagram of the site, followed by a stunning series of full-page, full-color illustrations of the wall paintings, many of them newly restored.

496 pages, 360 full-color illustrations, 11 in. x 13. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
