History of Italian Renaissance Art
Wilkins

Long hailed as one of the most comprehensive and richly detailed chronologies of painting, sculpture and architecture in Renaissance Italy from, this book focuses on works of art, their creators and the circumstances affecting their creation. The book is organized,  chronologically, with individual chapters dedicated to developments in different areas or cities, such as Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Venice and Northern Italy. David G. Wilkins has maintained Hartt’s distinctive voice and formalist approach while adding contextual detail that will enrich the reader’s understanding and reflect the latest thinking in the field.NEW-A number of illustrations that enrich students' understanding of important Renaissance works have been added, including: Views of architecture and of large cycles and programs that remain in situ. Three of the digitized reconstructions that were added to the fifth edition have here been revised and redone in splendid color by Lew Minter (see figs. 4.3, 4.5, 9.4, 11.13), with the assistance of Emily Gillespie and Kelly Murray. Increased the number of secular works by adding a cassone with its original framework largely intact (see fig. 13.17), an early desco da parto made for the Medici family (see fig. 11.19), three examples of majolica dinnerware (see figs. 15.28, 17.75, 20.37), and two additional portrait medals (see figs. 10.2, 15.6-15.7). Added more media.  A broader look at the way in which works of art functioned in Renaissance society has revealed the importance of other media besides marble and bronze for sculpture and fresco, tempera, and oil for painting. In this edition you will find the addition of a polychromed terracotta group (see fig. 15.67) of the type found in many Italian churches, a manuscript illumination (see fig. 14.34), a tapestry woven in the Netherlands to a design by Raphael (see fig. 17.57), an enameled reliquary (see fig. 4.35), and several examples of Renaissance prints (see figs. 6.5, 13.29, 17.59, 20.51). More examples of the ancient works that inspired the Renaissance, such as an ancient sarcophagus (see fig. 2.25) and an ancient cameo (see fig. 12.2) owned by Lorenzo de' Medici, as well as Renaissance views of the two great monuments of ancient Rome that were constantly in the minds of Renaissance architects: the Pantheon (see fig. 1.2) and the Colosseum (see fig. 1.3). A photograph of the marble quarries at Carrara (see fig. 1.15) suggests the difficulties Michelangelo faced in finding the quality of marble that he felt was necessary for his works. NEW-A series of portraits of patrons and personalities of the period.  Enrich students' knowledge of the context within which these works were created. Approaches works of art from the point of view of the artist.  The emphasis is on the artist as a creative personality. The text emphasizes the role of the individual artist during a period when individuality was becoming more important in culture, society and business.
