About the book >.>.> If one painting sums up the exceptional quality of the fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century Italian paintings in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection it is the panel by Duccio from the back predella of his Maest? for Siena cathedral. Other major Trecento and Quattrocento artists included in this volume are Fra Angelico Bernardo Daddi. Taddeo Gaddi Giovanni di Paolo Lorenzo Monaco Lorenzo Veneziano Paolo Uccello and Vitale da Bologna. Less well-known artists of the Florentine Sienese Venetian and other schools are also represented by works of particular quality and in a good state of preservation. The text will enrich the reader’s appreciation not only of the collection but also of the Trecento and Quattrocento in general. The author draws upon a very wide knowledge of the period and a broad bibliography. A number of new or revised interpretations are proposed in the light of recent research. Colour photographs and details of the Thyssen paintings are complemented by comparative black and white illustrations of other works as well as line drawings
