Most famous for his fascinating and graceful warrior women, Max Bertolini also crafts distinctive alien landscapes, all done with careful consideration for contrast and chiaroscuro.

   Beauty and the Beast.......

   Lady and the Dragon.......

Italy's best-known fantasy artist, and the illustrator of the bestselling comic book Nathan Never, gets a volume devoted to 140 of his remarkable paintings.

   Babylon Slave.......

   Space Marine.......

Among the works showcased here is Dragon Ride, with a statuesque female balanced on the back of that mythical beast as it soars across a magical land of misty sky and water, with sharp craggy rocks and a looming castle.

For The Final Fight, Bertolini used miniatures and took photographs to help him create the atmospheric shadows. Each image brings a new world to life.
