Sassetta, the subtle genius from Siena, revolutionized Italian painting with an altarpiece for the small Tuscan town of Borgo San Sepolcro in 1437-1444. This book solves the three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of this masterwork's reconstruction and, on a firm scientific foundation, restores it to its vivid historical context.
