Luca Signorelli was one of the most daring painters of the early Italian Renaissance, celebrated for his powerful figures and dramatic religious scenes. His art explored the human body with an intensity that anticipated later masters of the High Renaissance.

Maud Cruttwell’s classic study follows Signorelli’s life and artistic growth, tracing how his style emerged from tradition and evolved into something bold and personal. The book examines his major works, including monumental frescoes and devotional paintings, revealing how anatomy, movement, and spiritual meaning were united in his art.

This illustrated edition brings Signorelli’s world to life with carefully curated imagery that complements the original text. A new foreword places the artist in historical perspective, while an original author biography introduces readers to the scholar behind the study.

Ideal for students, art lovers, and readers interested in Renaissance culture, Luca Signorelli remains an essential portrait of an artist who helped redefine how humanity could be painted.
