- The most comprehensive book on the Sansevero Chapel, with all new photographs of the artwork in this stunning Neopolitan chapelThe Sansevero Chapel, located in the heart of historic Naples, is a treasure chest of baroque beauty, fascination, and mystery. There are 28 statues in the chapel, including The Veiled Christ (1753), a masterpiece of translucent drapery and emotive power by Giuseppe Sanmartino, which was much admired by Canova. This book presents the chapel's statues, crypts, and paintings in all-new photography. There is a chapter devoted entirely to The Veiled Christ, which goes deeply into the history of this important and moving work. Text in English and Italian.
