Description

The Life of Pope Pius II: As Illustrated by Pinturicchio's Frescoes in the Piccolomini Library at Siena is a historical book written by George William Kitchin in 1831. The book focuses on the life of Pope Pius II, a prominent figure in the Renaissance era, and his legacy as demonstrated through the artwork of Pinturicchio's frescoes in the Piccolomini Library at Siena.Kitchin provides a detailed account of Pope Pius II's life, including his early years as a diplomat, his rise to the papacy, and his efforts to promote the arts and sciences during his reign. The book also explores the cultural and political context of the Renaissance era, highlighting the impact of humanism and the role of the papacy in shaping the intellectual and artistic landscape of the time.The centerpiece of the book is Pinturicchio's frescoes, which Kitchin uses as a visual aid to illustrate the key themes and events of Pope Pius II's life. The frescoes depict scenes from the pope's life and accomplishments, including his coronation, his diplomatic missions, and his patronage of the arts.Overall, The Life of Pope Pius II is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance era, providing readers with a unique perspective on both the life of the pope and the cultural and political context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
