Italian Renaissance Drawings: Technical Examination and Analysis

By David Saunders, British Museum, Catherine Higgitt, et al.

Published in association with the British Museum, this volume presents technical studies of 47 outstanding Italian Renaissance drawings featured in the 2010�2011 exhibition Fra Angelico to Leonardo: Italian Renaissance Drawings. Using non-invasive analytical methods, the book goes beyond material identification to explore how these drawings functioned within Renaissance workshops and reflect broader artistic practices across 15th-century Italy. It offers new insights into the working methods of artists such as Leonardo and Fra Angelico, and the cultural context of their creative processes.
