History of Italian Renaissance art, painting, sculpture, architecture

This volume is a journey through four centuries of Italian Renaissance painting, sculpture, and architecture. Its color illustrations, fine writing, and in-depth scholarship bring into focus all the elements of this extraordinarily creative period and the remarkable personalities who gave it life. Highlights of this fifth edition include a new design with more than half the artworks illustrated in full color, new views of frescoes and sculptures photographed in their original locations that offer insight into the way the art was originally experienced, fresh views of great works of art that have been restored since the last edition, and extended captions that identify Renaissance patrons and provide details about historical context, emphasizing how the art was created and why. Building on the book's more than 30-year tradition, revising author David G. Wilkins blends new scholarly discoveries with the enthusiasm that Hartt conveyed to generations of students and admirers of Italian Renaissance art.

  • ""History of Italian Renaissance Art, sixth edition, provides readers with an updated understanding of this pivotal period, incorporating new research and current art historical thinking while also maintaining the integrity of the story that Frederick Hartt first told so enthusiastically many years ago. Choosing to retain Frederick Hartt's traditional framework, David Wilkins has introduced a number of changes. Newly added works of art demonstrate the diversity of the period. Secular pieces such as a cassone with its original framework largely intact, an early desco da parto made for the Medici family, two examples of majolica dinnerware, along with a new series of portraits of patrons and personalities of the period have been selected because they enrich our knowledge of the context within which these works were created. Other illustrations have been added to enhance our understanding of important Renaissance works. These include views of architecture and of large fresco cycles and sculptures that remain in situ. There is also an updated bibliography that provides a guide for further reading about artists and key topics. David Wilkins brings a strong, contemporary sensibility to Italian Renaissance art, yet he continues to maintain and emulate the eloquence that was a basic aspect of Frederick Hartt's approach.
