Il parato di San Giovanni Battista

Made for the Baptistery of Florence to a design by Antonio del Pollaiolo, the panels embroidered in polychrome silk and gold thread that make up the “Parato of San Giovanni” are now kept in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo in number of twenty-seven specimens. This book, the result of a long research, offers an in-depth analysis of the work, also identifying the characteristics of a group of seven panels that have probably been lost.
