About the book >.>.> This collection of major studies in Renaissance art by a noted authority will be invaluable for historians of art and students. Most of the essays explore closely related prob- lems or represent different approaches to the same prob- lem. The essays deal with such subjects as Northern painting of the fifteenth century; innovations in compositions fol- lowing the introduction of a new type of landscape setting: the epoch-making transformation of script and monumen- tal lettering in fifteenth-century Italy. Other studies cover the relation of form subject and meaning in Renaissance art. The problems dealt with in these essays are posed by artistic production in all periods but they are particularly accessible to study and interpretation in the period of the Renaissance. This work by a great Renaissance scholar brings new insights interpretations and understanding to some of the central aspects of Renaissance art. (SP)
