The Griffoni Polyptych is regarded as one of the greatest
masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. Published for the
exceptional reunification - after 300 years - of its constituent
parts, this book offers the results of a new analysis carried out
for this important occasion. Commissioned by Floriano Griffoni for
the family chapel in the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, the
polyptych was painted by Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de 'Roberti
between 1470 and 1472. The Ferrarese artists created a fundamental
work in the search for a modern feeling of space and volumes,
proposing a 'compositional mosaic' which can be considered an
alternative to the contemporary works of Piero della Francesca or
Andrea Mantegna. Dismantled in 1725 by the new owner of the chapel,
the polyptych was never again reunited: the paintings that formed
it entered the antiques markets and 16 pieces arrived in the nine
museums that still preserve them today. This volume is the most
complete monograph on this masterpiece.
