In a New Light presents the collective findings of an unprecedented technical examination of St. Francis in the Desert, a masterpiece of Venetian Renaissance art that has inspired generations of visitors to the Frick Collection. A monograph of a single picture, the book comprises essays and technical studies by leading experts in the fields of paintings conservation, Venetian art, the history of collecting, and Franciscan thought.
"In some cases, a single work is a show in itself. The Frick Collection has such a star and has produced this superb book about it."
