Piero di Cosimo’s Madonna and Child with Two Musician Angels (c.1505-07) is one of the paintings considered and illustrated in this handsome, large-format book, which considers the Florentine artist whose inventive, versatile, and playful genius defied easy classification. The book analyses his imagery, and lists his patrons, commissions, and lost and uncertainly attributed works.
