Loretta Vandi Book order

Focusing on the illuminated manuscripts of Sister Eufrasia Burlamacchi, this monograph reveals her significant contributions to art beyond painting and sculpture. Living in the convent of San Domenico in Lucca, she mastered drawing, color techniques, composition, and spatial treatment. The book emphasizes her awareness of the evolving art of illumination during the High Renaissance and her role in establishing a convent workshop that fostered artistic exchange among her fellow sisters. Burlamacchi is presented as a talented and influential artist deserving recognition.
