Cosimo Tura was the leading master of the Ferrarese school in the fifteenth century and works by him are to be found in the National Galleries of London and Washington, and in the museums of Paris, Berlin, Vienna and New York. His artistic ideal is closely related to that of the Expressionists. Although Tura's pictures can be seen in so many important galleries, he has remained virtually unknown to the public at large. This edition contains 118 reproductions of all Tura's paintings, drawings and other works as well as a detailed introduction; chronological list of works and notes on the plates.
