BORSI (Franco and Stefano). Masaccio. Paris, Hazan, n.d. Large 4to, publisher’s cardboard binding with illustrated dust jacket. Translated from Italian by Odile Ménégaux, Isabel Violante, and Michel Luxembourg. A major monograph devoted to Masaccio, a key figure of the early Florentine Renaissance. Franco and Stefano Borsi’s work situates his art within the artistic context of the Quattrocento and examines, in particular, the innovations in perspective, pictorial space, and the representation of the human figure. Richly illustrated in color and black-and-white, with numerous full-page reproductions and details of the frescoes and paintings, particularly from the Pisa polyptych and the major Florentine works. A beautiful, comprehensive volume documenting the painter’s work. Good copy; some normal wear on the dust jacket.
