Stucchi
capolavori sconosciuti nella storia dell'arte
by Alessandra Zamperini
This is the first-ever book to present a comprehensive history of stucco in Europe. Stucco is considered an applied art, and as such it has not received the kind of attention lavished on painting, sculpture and architecture. Yet stucco, which dates back to the Egyptian era, has an intriguing past in various periods of art history. Stucco blossomed in the classical era and then came to the forefront again from the Renaissance to the 19th century. Stucco has incorrectly been seen as a simple, white, monochromatic and slightly boring art form, but a closer look shows that stucco has enjoyed long periods of colorful expression. Just think of the famous and colorful "Geese of Meidum" (2620 B.C., National Museum of Cairo), or the decorations of the Tomb of the Pancrazi from the Roman era.
