This book was published by Phaedon, which has been my favorite art imprint since I acquired Janet Blackhouse's "The Lindisfarne Gospels." Phaedon titles feature gorgeous full-color plates of their subjects and their writers are knowledgeable and lucid. "Italian Renaissance Painting" opens with about 25 pages discussing the historical events and artistic trends of the Renaissance along with brief biographies of the artists, their influences, patrons, and relationships. This is followed by 98 full-page prints of representative works faced by more in-depth articles on the pieces, their artists, and their influences. "Italian Renaissance Painting" covers the usual suspects--Raphael, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, but scores major points for dealing with some of the lesser-known artists--Tura, Veronese, Correggio, Uccello, Gozzoli, as well. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Italian Renaissance was an unparalleled era of creativity, particularly in the field of painting. Building on the achievements of artists such as Giotto in the fourteenth century and Masacio and Donatello in the fifteenth centuries, and culminating in the careers of the undisputed geniuses Leonardo de Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, the period witnessed the rediscovery of naturalistic techniques in art and new interest in portraiture, landscapes and themes from classical mythology. This imaginative richness produced some of the most enduring images in all art history, many of which are reproduced here in a perfect introduction to a unique age. Art historian Sara Elliott has produced a lively and wide-ranging account of this great era of Western civilization, including extensive captions to each colour plate and many invaluable comparative illustrations.
