About This Book

The author presents a concise survey of painting in Italy from Giotto's early Florentine humanism through the High Renaissance and later schools, examining stylistic shifts, regional traditions, and principal masters. Chapters follow the rise of naturalism and narrative clarity in Florence, the persistence of medieval traits in Siena, the innovations of Masaccio, Fra Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and the distinct Venetian developments culminating in Titian, then the later realists and eclectics. Technical aims, aesthetic principles, and civic and religious contexts are discussed, with critical observations, notes on contested points, and practical reading and study hints geared to beginners and travelers.

INDEX

Where an artist has a family name, that is the indexed word, e.g., Bellini, Giovanni. Where there is no surname, the Christian name is used, e.g., Nardo di Cione, Andrea da Bologna. So is the Christian name the index word when an apparent surname is really only descriptive of birthplace or civil estate, e.g., Domenico Veneziano, Lorenzo Monaco. In the case of well-known artists, the most familiar name is employed, e.g., Angelico, Fra; Giorgione, Titian, Perugino, Raphael, Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo, Botticelli, Michelangelo, etc.
