About This Book

A series of biographical sketches and critical assessments of Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects, presenting lives, anecdotes, descriptions of major works, and discussions of artistic technique such as perspective and composition. Entries cover a wide roster of practitioners, profiling figures like Piero della Francesca, Fra Angelico, Alberti, Botticelli, Mantegna and many others; the author interweaves documented commissions, stylistic analysis, and occasional moralizing commentary, while noting influences, rivalries, and the fate of works lost or altered. Illustrations and indexes accompany the text to support visual and documentary reference.

[14] It has recently been shown that Pisanello's name was not Vittore but Antonio; see article by G. F. Hill, on p. 288, vol. xiii. of the Burlington Magazine. In the translation, however, Vittore, the name given by Vasari, will be kept.

[21] The word in the Italian text is not "carro" but "cero," which is obviously an error.
