History of Italian Renaissance Art

Wilkins blends new scholarly discoveries with original author Hartt's emphasis on stylistic developments between the 12th and 16th centuries. offer a dynamic insight into the way Renaissance men and women experienced their art. Since the release of the fourth edition, many more works have been restored, including Michelangelo's Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel and Raphael's Stanze frescoes in the Vatican. Fresh views of renowned works are included with art commissioned or produced by women.

The Renaissance in Italy and Spain
"This volume presents a full range of artistic endeavor from the first awakenings of the Renaissance spirit in the works of Berlinghiero, Giotto, and Pisano, to the climactic creations of Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Titian, and Veronese- the masters of the High Renaissance. The artists of Italy and Spain worked in every medium, all of which are represented in this volume: paintings, drawings, and prints; sculpture in stone, wood, and terra-cotta; glass, metal, and porcelain; furniture and musical instrument; costumes and armor."--Page 2 of cover.

Art
Frederick Hartt can answer better than perhaps any other living writer the questions: What is art? What makes certain works great, others less so? Volume I begins with the Old Stone Age and follows the course of Western art to the end of the thirteenth century. The first three parts examine the painting, sculpture, and architecture of more than twenty civilizations. A final chapter on painting and sculpture in Italy from 1260 to 1360 -- an era known as the Proto-Renaissance that looks back to the grandeur of Gothic art and forward to the great discoveries and achievements of the Renaissance -- forms a bridge between the two volumes. Volume II begins with the Proto-Renaissance in Italy and follows artistic development in the West up to the present. In three major parts -- The Renaissance, The Baroque, and The Modern World -- the dominant schools and artists of the last eight centuries are examined. -- From publisher's description.
