Description: In 1461, the French painter Nicolas Froment completed a triptych featuring the Resurrection of Lazarus for the bishop of Terni, Francesco Coppini, who was the papal ambassador in Flanders, France, and England. Ending up at the monastery of Bosco ai Frati in Mugello a few years later, the painting is one of the oldest altarpieces influenced by Flemish culture in Florentine territory, and is today one of the most important exemplars of non-Italian fifteenth-century painting in the Uffizi Gallery. This volume gathers the results of its recently completed restoration and offers new research on the career of Nicolas Froment and on his patron, originally from Prato, whose ambition was his downfall.
Notes: Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy, March 7-April 30, 2017.
