Divine Presence explores this question through the fascinating world of marble depictions in late Gothic and early Renaissance art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book reveals how artists of this period—including Fra Angelico, Bellini, Crivelli, and Mantegna—transformed marble depictions from mere decoration into a powerful theological tool. Their painting was characterized by an innovative use of color that anticipated later artistic trends and gestures. They combined naturalistic details with fantastic coloration and complex texture to create visual meditations on creation, incarnation, and resurrection. Their works made the unspeakable visible, allowing viewers to catch a glimpse of heaven through pigment and stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith stunning images and well-founded yet accessible texts, this book uncovers the spiritual and devotional power of painted marble in late Gothic and early Renaissance art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book itself is conceived as a collector's item and is limited to 999 copies: Printed in Italy, finished with fine book linen, gilded top edge, and high-quality paper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupported by the Peter Marino Art Foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKARL KOLBITZ is an editor and author whose projects at the intersection of art, architecture, and design have garnered international attention.
