Abstract This book celebrates the artistry of Piero della Francesca and the reunion, at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan, of all extant paintings of his Augustinian Polyptych, otherwise scattered between museums in Europe and the United States. A solemn master of light, color, and perspective, Piero invested each of its celestial figures with extraordinary immanence and turned its space into a Renaissance heaven on earth. The epic story of its genesis, meaning, dispersal, and reconstruction is told here in full artistic, technical, and historical detail.
