His death at the age of only 35 cut short a rising star of the early Renaissance. Praised as a painter of \"cose picole\" (small things), Pesellino was a remarkable draughtsman and miniaturist, excelling in fine details and the characterful depiction of animals. His works were not limited to those on a small scale, however: he was also an accomplished painter of grand altarpieces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This catalogue introduces Pesellino's work to a wider audience and celebrates his extraordinary abilities. Beautifully illustrated essays explore his life and work, and the recent conservation of the Gallery's painted cassone panels depicting the story of David and Goliath, where the artist's skill as a storyteller is matched by his technical mastery. The first publication in English dedicated to Pesellino, it provides a comprehensive overview of the artist, as well as new insights into his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The National Gallery, London \u003cbr\u003e (December 7, 2023-March 10, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Llewellyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857097106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857097108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Laura Llewellyn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46052498964735,"sku":"9781857097108","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fc18e32-9395-42c4-84a4-69ad423b862d.jpg?v=1723556559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pesellino-laura-llewellyn-9781857097108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
