Overview
In this fourth volume of his Studies in the art of the Renaissance, Professor Gombrich has bought new evidence from a fresh reading of texts and documents to bear on the interpretation of the work and personality of some of the leading artists of the Italian Renaissance- Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael. Giulio Romano, and Michelangelo.Editorials
Library Journal
As the title suggests, eminent art historian Gombrich illuminates our understanding of familiar subjects from the Italian Renaissance, including Giotto, Leonardo, Raphael, Giulio Romano, and Michelangelo. This notable volume marks the first appearance together of these nine essays and lectures. One (on Michelangelo's cartoon in the British Museum) is previously unpublished and several have not appeared in English until now. The compilation, recommended for scholarly collections, freshly interprets previously neglected or misunderstood texts and documents and speculates on topics about which volumes exist.
