| Summary | "Bernardino Luini" by James Mason is a biographical account written in the early 20th century, focusing on the life and works of the Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini. The book highlights the significance of Luini's artistry, despite his lack of fame compared to his contemporaries, exploring his influences, techniques, and the themes present in his works, notably an enduring devotion to beauty and simplicity. In this exploration, Mason delves into Luini’s artistic journey, beginning with his origins in Luino, Italy, and later working in Milan and other towns. The biography discusses Luini’s early influences, including links to Leonardo da Vinci, and describes the challenges he faced in gaining recognition during his lifetime. Through a detailed examination of his major works, such as "The Madonna of the Rose" and "The Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine," Mason illustrates how Luini achieved emotional depth and spirituality in his paintings while often struggling with composition and perspective. Notably, the biographer emphasizes Luini's unique artistic voice that resonates deeply with those enchanted by the beauty and meaning behind his creations, establishing his rightful place in the pantheon of great Renaissance artists.
