10 minutes, color, age range: 14 - adult, #200
Piero della Francesca The Baptism of Christ
A fine example of early experiments in art-critical film by Carlo Ragghianti. It examines the work of this very individual master who was perhaps the first to exploit the subduing and soothing qualities of light. His ability to endow the world with majesty and calm has never been surpassed.
