Description: This introductory text on Italian Renaissance art and artists focuses on the most important and innovative artists and their principal works. The emphasis is on selectivity and understanding, and minor artists are considered only briefly when relevant to the major artistic developments. The text also focuses on style and iconography, and on art and artists incorporating different methodological approaches to create a wider understanding and appreciation of art. Italian Renaissance Art contains over 400 illustrations, of which 215 are in full color integrated with the text and large enough to be properly viewed. Also, there are maps, plans, and diagrams where appropriate. Painting, sculpture, and architecture are covered. The book contains a glossary, historical chronology, selected bibliography and index as well.
