Description

This illustrated book, visible in the photograph, belongs to the "Regards sur la peinture" (Views on Painting) collection. It is number 51, dedicated to the Italian Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca. The cover features a detail from an emblematic fresco by the artist, showing two faces in profile and full-face, against a background of ocher and beige hues, typical of 15th-century mural painting. The layout is distinguished by a large title "REGARDS" in red capital letters on a white background, followed by "SUR LA PEINTURE" in light grey. Number 51 is indicated at the top right.

The artist's name "PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA" appears in white letters in the center, on a blue band bearing "EDITIONS FABBRI" at the bottom of the cover. The graphic style is sober and highlights the artwork's image, offering an immediate visual overview of the pictorial universe covered in the book.

The visible cover shows no major chips or pronounced signs of wear. The colors are vibrant and the surface appears to have a glossy finish, typical of illustrated editions from the late 20th century. No other decorative or typographic details are visible on the displayed front. The spine, edge, and interior content are not visible in the photo.

This volume is intended for anyone seeking an art history book, an illustrated book on painting, or a vintage copy on Piero della Francesca. The terms "old," "retro," and "vintage" are appropriate here, as the edition evokes an editorial style from the 1980s-1990s.

The photographic presentation in a library setting, with shelves of bound books in the background, highlights the heritage character of this art book.
