In \u003ci\u003eThe Lies of the Artists, \u003c\/i\u003eIngrid Rowland takes us into the world of these artists, and into their seemingly miraculous ways of transforming transcendent ideas into tangible works of art that challenged and redefined reality, “lies” with the power to reveal a deeper truth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the great art patron Daniele Barbaro wrote: “bisogna aprire gli occhi,” or “you have to open your eyes.” And this is precisely what Rowland does in these essays, bringing her knowledge, keen perception, and singular wit to bear on the art and lives of Renaissance masters, including Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael, Titian, and El Greco, as well as some overlooked artists of phenomenal talent, such as Antonello da Messina, Andrea del Sarto, and Bertoldo di Giovanni. In dazzling prose, as luminous and versatile as the painterly effects she describes, she shows us the work of these artists in eye-opening, thought-provoking ways, recreating the delight and insight that the discovery of great art evokes.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44969334571263,"sku":"9780262549097","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780262549097_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597036","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780262549097","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
