From the Author:
This book is intended to be a thorough but accessible introduction to the Italian Renaissance, one of the greatest periods of western art and culture.  The large-format illustrations make it easy to see details of the works, which are nicely reproduced.  The text begins with the 13th and 14th centuries and concludes with the High Renaissance and early Mannerism.  Sculpture and architecture, as well as painting, are covered and set in their respective cultural contexts.
From the Back Cover:
"A clearly written, straightforward account of the story of Italian Renaissance art from its origins to Mannerism....This is a very good book which should furnish us with the new and usable text we have been waiting for.  I would certainly use it in my classroom." 
   --- Bruce Cole, Distinguished Professor of Art History, Indiana University and former Head of the NEH.

"This sensibly selective and well-written introduction to Italian Renaissance art covers the main centers throughout Italy and describes the major artists and their works from different critical and methodological points of view.  The large-format illustrations make this text particularly useful."
---- James Beck, Professor of Art History, Columbia University
