About this title

About the Author:

Claire Van Cleave is a writer and lecturer on Old Master drawings and Renaissance art and a specialist on the work of Luca Signorelli. She is currently researching a book on Americans living in Florence in the late 19th and 20th century.

Review:

This is an exquisite book of thumbnail biographies and drawings of some of the best-known Renaissance masters, but also many of the lesser known. The drawings are arresting for their beauty.

The delicate reproductions are exquisite and fulsome, and Van Cleave's short bios of each of the great draughtsman are extremely cogent and lively.--Michael Coffey"Publishers Weekly" (09/17/2007)
