Recenzii
Thanks to Banker we have an enormously clearer idea of just how common it was for Renaissance people to stay connected and use their connections in new places and for new ventures.
[A] remarkable biography ... This compact, clearly written book rescues Piero from the dangerous fate of being an enigma.
A vitally important contribution to Piero studies.
Banker's scholarship and research are impeccable and should be celebrated.
Fascinating insight.
making compelling claims about the dating of certain works, and offering a new interpretation of the enigmatic Flagellation of Christ.
insightful
This publication is beautifully produced and is a joy to read.
a carefully argued, highly accessible volume ... [Banker] masterfully summarizes and analyzes the sometimes daunting art historical and technical scholarship on Piero's visual and written works, offering a compelling portrait of the artist and the world in which he lived.
James R. Banker's magisterial study, Piero della Francesca: Artist and Man, represents a major contribution to the scholarship on this Renaissance painter and mathematician and has a grounded keel and quiet strength that is evocative of the timeless quality of Piero's paintings themselves ... Banker's study serves as the culmination of a lifetime of scholarly work that will be welcomed by serious readers looking for a detailed study of one of the most complex of Renaissance artists, Piero della Francesca.

Notă biografică
James R. Banker is professor emeritus of Italian history at North Carolina State University, and lives for most of the year in Florence and Sansepolcro. An expert on the life and works of Piero della Francesca and Sassetta, two artists closely associated with San Sepolcro, his research has emphasized the role of lay religion in the lives of early Renaissance Italians, and the role of patrons, lay and clerical, in the paintings of both Sassetta and Piero. Author of numerous articles on Renaissance themes, his books include Death in the Community: Memorialization and Confraternities in an Italian Commune and, most recently, The Culture of San Sepolcro During the Youth of Piero della Francesca (2003).
