LEONARDO AND THE LAST SUPPER
by Ross King
Illustrated by Leonardo Da Vinci
Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. 1st. 2012
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. In Leonardo and the Last Supper, Ross King tells the complete story of this creation of this mural: the adversities suffered by the artist during its execution; the experimental techniques he employed; the models for Christ and the Apostles that he used; and the numerous personalities involved - everyone from the Leonardo's young assistants to Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan who commissioned the work. Ross King's book is both a record of Leonardo da Vinci's last five years in Milan and a 'biography' of one of the most famous works of art ever painted. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations and a few colour plates. 336 pages including index.
Boards clean. Text block browned. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is very lightly faded to spine and lightly scuffed to rear panel.
