Plautilla Nelli (1524-1588) by Jonathan K. Nelson PDF Summary

Book Description: "A little-known painter in sixteenth-century Florence, Plautilla Nelli is one of the first known female Renaissance artists. The Lamentation, Last Supper, and Pentecost make her one of the first European women we can identify with large-scale religious works. Most remarkably, perhaps, this Dominican nun became the primary "image maker" of the Order of Preachers in Florence, a role previously played by Fra Bartolommeo. Through her art, she "preached" primarily, but not exclusively, to the nuns in her convent of Santa Caterina da Siena. Nelli also conveyed her artistic and moral message to all those who could see her works, many of which were praised by two contemporaries, Giorgio Vasari and Serafino Razzi." "In this collection of essays, internationally recognized scholars examine the life and works of Nelli, the prioress of a Dominican convent, with special attention to the artistic, social, and religious contexts. The book reproduces all Nelli's paintings and drawings in color, many for the first time, and significantly increases the small corpus of works attributed to her. It also presents the restoration results of her celebrated Lamentation."--BOOK JACKET.
