Stories about the relationship between artist and client are some of the most fascinating. Especially when the events unfold in the Renaissance, in Italy, at the court of the Pope. There are intricacies of fates, and political games, and monks, and theologians, and courtiers, and, mainly, art - its development, its life.
The book by art historian Ulyana Dobrova tells how the Roman art school was formed under the pontiff Sixtus IV, how he built a cultural policy, with the help of it strengthened his power, and what role in all this played a once wandering free artist Melozzo da Forli. Once in Rome, the master faced a task that was both political and artistic. This symbiosis resulted in beautiful works of art, such as the Ascension fresco in the Church of Santi Apostoli, the fresco Establishment of the Vatican Apostolic Library, and the decoration of the Sacristy of San Marco in the Cathedral of Santa Casa di Loreto, the Holy House of Our Lady of Loreto.
