| Summary |
"Luca Signorelli" by Maud Cruttwell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and artistic achievements of Luca Signorelli, a notable Italian painter of the Renaissance. It explores his artistic development, significant works, and the influences that shaped his unique style, providing insights into the broader context of Renaissance art. The opening of the book begins by addressing the mysterious aspects of Signorelli's life, particularly the lack of detailed records about his early years. Cruttwell introduces the influence of significant figures in Signorelli's life, such as his uncle Lazzaro and master Pier dei Franceschi, while outlining the artist's background and the challenges he faced. The chapter emphasizes the importance of both tradition and documentation in piecing together a narrative of Signorelli's contributions to art, setting the stage for a deeper examination of his work and the impact he had on the Renaissance movement.
