Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Saint: Translated From Cu Paul Bourget's "Pastels of Men"
I call by the name of Orcagna the painter of the Triumph of Death in the Campo Santo of the old town, knowing well that modern criticism questions his paternity of the work. But to me, and to all those whose memory cherishes the admirable lines of Pianto on the tragic fresco, Orcagna is, and ever will be, the sole author of it. At any rate, Benozzo has not lost, through the sceptical and fatal criticism of catalogues, his right and title to the decoration of the west wall of the cemetery.
