History of Italian Renaissance Art: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture

Frederick Hartt's 'History of Italian renaissance art' has long been considered the best book ever written on this important period in Western Art. Comprehensive, well-illustrated and entertaining, it is also a model of clarity and scholarly precision. The revising author, David Wilkins, has remained sensitive to Hartt's vision and approach while drawing on the latest reasearch to bring the text up to date.
