| book description |

The first book to focus on Dame Paula Regoâ€™s little-known monumental triptych, Crivelliâ€™s Garden, featuring an original short story by novelist Chloe Aridjis, new photography, and an art historical essay Dame Paula Rego RA (1935â€“2022) was a British-Portuguese artist whose large-scale figurative paintings explored human relationships and the experience of women through compelling, often subversive compositions. Inspired by the predella panel of Carlo Crivelliâ€™s altarpiece La Madonna della Rondine (after 1490), Rego produced Crivelliâ€™s Garden in 1990âˆ’91 while she was artist in residence at the National Gallery. This monumental triptych reimagined the site of Crivelliâ€™s panel as a radical space populated by female figures from myth, folklore, and the Bible, alongside animals drawn from Aesopâ€™s fables and other classical texts. Literature was a major influence on Regoâ€™s practice throughout her career: this publication in turn celebrates the far-reaching influence of Regoâ€™s paintings with an original short story by Mexican novelist Chloe Aridjis, inspired by Regoâ€™s triptych. Illustrated with previously unpublished preparatory drawings and newly photographed details of the painting, the book also features an art historical essay on the work. Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: The National Gallery, London; (July 20â€“October 29, 2023)
