Description

A masterpiece of the threshold of the Renaissance

Pacino di Bonaguida is one of the precursor of Renaissance art. His works are without magisterial exception, but it highlights one in particular: his illuminated book with scenes from the life of Christ without any text. For the first time the historical-artistic importance of this unique work is presented to a wide audience as a perfect facsimile edition true to the original.
