The art of Florence
Andres, Glenn M.
The art of Florence by Glenn Andres, John M. Hunisak, A. Richard Turner ; principal photography by Takashi Okamura. - 1st ed. - New York : Abbeville Press, c1988. - 2 v. (1312 p.) : ill. (some col.) ; 34 cm.
Includes index.
Bibliography: v. 2, p. 1281-1288.
The two volumes present the art of Renaissance Florence in two oversized volumes. Along with this visual feast comes a substantial and well-written chronological account of Florentine architecture, sculpture, and painting from 1200 to 1600. Basic historical and political background is incorporated into the text, making it informative and accessible to students and others with no prior knowledge of Italian Renaissance art or history. Although not a full history of Italian Renaissance art because of its limitation to one city, and lacking full scholarly apparatus (publication histories, dimensions of some works, etc.), lists.
For Upper School
and an excellent source for art and history teachers
