Bernardino Luini and Renaissance Painting in Lombardy: The Frescoes of San Maurizio Al Monastero Maggiore in Milan by Maria Teresa Fiorio, ISBN 8881187361
This book offers the first detailed photographic study of one of the Lombard Renaissance's most complex and articulated monuments, gradually completed in the course of nearly a century. Given the complexity of the subject treated, the book has been divided into four large sections, each one accompanied by a plan of the church that enables the reader to follow the monument's unfolding cycles with each successive phase of additions, including the renowned works of Bernardino Luini, one of the greatest painters of Renaissance Lombardy.
The appendixes include a bibliography, an index, and the complete records of documents relating to the frescoes and furnishings of the church.
