Art of Renaissance Florence, 1400–1600“Rich and engaging. This account of Florentine art tells the story of who commissioned these works, who made them, where they were seen, and how they were experienced and understood by their viewers. Includes a useful timeline, glossary, and series of artists' biographies.”—Patricia L. Reilly, Swarthmore College “An extraordinarily useful book, not only for teachers, but also for historically minded travelers interested in an illustrated guide to the art of Renaissance Florence.”—Evelyn Lincoln, Brown University “Clear and compelling. The well-chosen illustrations include ground plans and diagrams of key architectural monuments and sculpture. The updated, judicious bibliography is a resource for anyone tackling the vast scholarship on the art of Renaissance Florence.”—Cristelle Baskins, editor of The Triumph of Marriage: Painted Cassoni of the Renaissance |
