Product Description
Frederick Hartt's unrivaled classic is a dazzling journey through four centuries of Italian Renaissance painting, sculpture, and architecture. Its sumptuous color illustrations, fine writing, and in-depth scholarship bring into focus all the elements of this extraordinarily creative period and the remarkable personalities who gave it life. Highlights of this Fifth Edition include: • a striking new design with more than half the artworks illustrated in full color • new views of frescoes and sculptures photographed in their original locations that offer a dynamic insight into the way the art was originally experienced • fresh views of great works of art that have been restored since the last edition • extended captions that identify Renaissance patrons and provide details about historical context, emphasizing how the art was created and why Building on the book's more than 30-year tradition, revising author David G. Wilkins skillfully blends new scholarly discoveries with the enthusiasm that Hartt so successfully conveyed to generations of students and admirers of Italian Renaissance art.
