Synopsis

A richly detailed history of Renaissance painting across Italy and Northern Europe, with a clear focus on how paintings are attributed and understood today. This edition continues a grand project, combining deep study with practical observations from travel and firsthand looking at works.

This volume frames the Renaissance through major schools and centers, from Umbrian and Siennese traditions to German and Flemish currents. It highlights how modern methods—photography, connoisseurship, and careful comparing of paintings—have shaped our knowledge, while acknowledging the specialists whose work advances the field. The author draws on recent research and private correspondence to illuminate the painters, their styles, and the evolving meaning of their canvases.

• Focused discussion of Italian Renaissance centers like Umbria and the Siennese circle, with notes on leading masters and their works.


• An emphasis on attribution: how to tell who painted what, using direct study and comparative methods.


• Context on influential researchers and methods, including Morelli and Scheibler, and how their ideas fit into the broader history.


• Insights into how regional styles interact, with attention to how travel and collaboration shaped artistic trends.

Ideal for readers of art history, connoisseurship, and anyone seeking a historical, evidence-based view of Renaissance painting.
