Sobre el libro Francesco del Cossa. Con la proposta di un dipinto di Cosmè Tura de Vittorio Sgarbi i Vittorio (ed.) Sgarbi publicado por Skira al 2007:

Francesco del Cossa represents an crucial moment of the Renaissance in Ferrara. Together with Ercole de’ Roberti he was the creator of the frescos in the Salone dei Mesi at Palazzo Schifanoia, one of the most mysterious and evocative of Ferrara’s places. With his usual clear and charming style, Vittorio Sgarbi, a native of Ferrara with a passion for his city, leads us on a voyage of discovery of one of his favourite painters. Cosmè Tura, Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de’ Roberti were the three principal figures in the Ferrara workshop that was much admired by Roberto Longhi: an original style of painting influenced by Venetian artists and Flemish culture. Many of their works on wood, ignored in Italy for the entire nineteenth century, are now proudly on show in the major museums of the English-speaking world, the National Galleries in London and Washington. This richly illustrated volume contains a complete catalogue of the artists certified and attributed works.
