About This Book

The book offers a critical, essayistic survey of Florentine painting from its medieval roots through the Renaissance, examining individual artists' styles, technical aims, and the school's preoccupation with figure-painting. It emphasizes the painters' efforts to evoke tactile presence in two-dimensional work, contrasts Florentine versatility with Venetian specialization, revises attributions and artist lists, and includes indices of works and places to aid identification and study.
