Italian Renaissance
Art
by
Laurie
Schneider
Adams
Paperback,
432
pages
Published by
Westview
Press
Publication date:
Feb
2001
From
Booklist
Adams
has
produced
a
near-perfect
introduction
to
the
people,
places,
and
events
of
the
Italian
Renaissance.
Beginning
with
late-Byzantine-era
iconography,
the
text
follows
Italian
art
as
it
transforms
from
a
highly
religious
activity
into
a
very
human
one,
and
culminates
with
a
focus
on
the
multitalented
genius
of
da
Vinci,
Raphael,
and
Michelangelo.
Unlike
many
overview
books
on
the
Italian
Renaissance,
which
focus
mainly
on
the
well-known
artists
and
centers
of
production,
this
book
also
includes
discussion
of
influential
yet
lesser-known
artists
and
cities
of
the
period.
Understandably,
Adams
places
most
of
her
attention
on
painting.
Yet
she
gives
a
fair
and
thorough
treatment
of
architecture
and
sculpture.
The
side
boxes
are
helpful
and
provide
further
information
about
the
religious
figures,
ideas,
and
historical
events
that
directly
influenced
the
era,
such
as
Dante
and
the
black
death.
Adams
takes
great
care
in
explaining
the
architectural
context
of
certain
paintings.
This,
along
with
numerous
superb
photographs,
adds
incalculable
value
to
the
understanding
of
the
Italian
Renaissance.

History of Italian Renaissance
Art: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture
by Frederick
Hartt, David G. Wilkins (Editor)
Hardcover, 696 pages
Published by Harry N Abrams
Publication date: Mar 1994
The new edition of eminent art historian Hartt's work, first published
in 1969, was scheduled before his death in 1991. It is not an
extensive revision, the goal being to retain Hartt's clear and
distinctive voice and his selection of works. New photographs have
been substituted when works have been restored, and color-plate
portfolios of Renaissance art in context and of Michelangelo's
restored Sistine Ceiling have been added. Because location was such an
important consideration in the design of Renaissance works of art,
paintings and sculptures that are still in their original settings are
indicated with a symbol. From

Italian Frescoes: The
Flowering of the Renaissance 1470-1510
by Steffy Rottgen,
Antonio Quattrone (Photographer), Fabio Lensini, (Translator)
Hardcover, 464 pages
Published by
Abbeville
Press, Inc.
Publication date: Sep 1997
Steffi Roettgen's first volume, Italian Frescoes: The Early
Renaissance, 1400-1470, was called "by far the finest book on
the subject" by Everett Fahy, chairman of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. If this second volume, focusing on the Renaissance from 1470
to 1510, is even more beautiful, it is because the artists represented
here--including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Filippino Lippi, Perugino,
and Fra Angelico--represent, as the subtitle puts it, "the
flowering of the Renaissance." The 470-page book, which documents
fresco cycles by more than a score of artists in 16 different
locations, is organized by place, with each chapel, sacristy, or
cloister treated separately, in its own chapter.

Portrait in the Renaissance (Bollingen
Series, 35:12)
by John
Wyndham Pope-Hennessy
Paperback
Published by Princeton Univ Pr
Publication date: Oct 1989
This major work by one of the twentieth century's most eminent art
historians is available again in paperback through Princeton
University Press. Here John Pope-Hennessy takes as his subject two
centuries of experiment in portraiture during the Renaissance. He
shows how the Renaissance cult of individuality brought with it a
demand that the features of the individual be perpetuated. The
author goes on to describe the process by which Titian and the great
artists of the High Renaissance transformed the portrait from a record
of appearance into an analysis of character. |

The Culture of the High
Renaissance: Ancients and Moderns in Sixteenth-Century Rome
by Ingrid D.
Rowland
Hardcover, 350 pages
Published by Cambridge Univ Pr
Publication date: Nov 1998
In this study, Ingrid Rowland examines the culture, society, and
intellectual norms that generated the High Renaissance. Fueled by a
volatile mix of economic development, scholarly longing for the
glories of ancient civilization, and religious ferment, the High
Renaissance, Rowland posits, was also a period in which artists,
patrons, and scholars sought "new methods for doing new
things." This interdisciplinary study assesses the intellectual
paradigm shift that occurred at the turn of the fifteenth century. It
also finds and explains the connections between ideas, people, and the
art works they created by looking at economics, art, contemporary
understanding of classical antiquity, and social conventions. |

Art, Memory and Family in Renaissance Florence examines the
relationship between the production of objects and the production of
memory and history in fifteenth-century Florence. Recent studies of
Florence by cultural, social, political and economic historians has
resulted in a considerable knowledge of family life in this period and
the significance of family, kin and neighborhood in the social and
political life of the city. Investigating the means and modes of
formulating and recording those relationships, the essays gathered in
this study consider the interconnections between society, art and
memory. |

The Aesthetics of Italian
Renaissance Art: A Reconsideration of Style
by Hellmut Wohl
Hardcover, 400 pages
Published by
Cambridge
Univ Pr
Publication date: Aug 1999
In this incisive study, Hellmut Wohl redefines style in the Italian
Renaissance in light of contemporary testimony and close rereadings of
seminal works. Through analysis of visual and textual evidence, he
posits that Renaissance artists and their viewers conceived of art as
decoration of surfaces. Offering a new approach to the issue of style,
Wohl suggests that the scientific dimensions of early modern art works
were less important to contemporaries than their function as
ornamentationfe and times, the historical and social context in which
they worked, and an analysis of their masterpieces. |
