Italian Art

The turn around for this purchase was very quick. Our daughter took it to Italy for one of her studies abroad classes.

tons of info, great pics

I lived in Italy for over a year and this was the primary text book for my renaissance art history class. It was a wonderful book with pictures and so much information, I had to purchase it for myself.

A must for any artist!

This book is far and above what I had expected. Emphasis was placed on being user friendly, which is paramount with such a heavy topic. Side bars on the inner political, religious, and general public life help to clarify what influenced the artist in making choices of subject, style, and composition. I now have a clearer understanding of why I paint how I do, and why we as a culture critique art the way we do.
