Book presentation and author’s conference
At 5.30pm on Tuesday, November 12, Santa Maria Novella’s Infopoint (Piazza Stazione 5, in Florence) is hosting the presentation of the restoration catalog “Visible: Plautilla Nelli and her Last Supper restored’ AWA’s latest publication with historic partners The Florentine Press. Authors Silvia Colucci, Rossella Lari, Linda Falcone, Francesco Morena, Silvia Ciappi, Donata Magrini and Susanna Bracci will be on site to share their research regarding the four-year project aimed at rescuing Nelli’s masterwork now on display at Santa Maria Novella. Here are some of the topics discussed: Diagnostic tests reveal the secrets of Nelli’s palette; the tension-filled moment Nelli represents, Judas as a central figure twinned with Saint John; what restoration tells us about the artist, the porcelain and glassware on Nelli’s table; the painting’s ‘many lives’ in Florence’s historic venues; how modern-day audiences responded to the painter’s plea.
