Intellectual Life of the Early Renaissance Artist

"THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE OF THE EARLY RENAISSANCE ARTIST is beautifully produced. The 150 illustrations deserve special praise for stinting on the familiar in favour of unusual and interesting works that make strong points about the social meaning of art. This reviewer was delighted, too, that Van Eyck and other transalpine figures play as full a part as the evidence permits. Too many books on the quattrocento still allow the general reader to get the impression that the Italian Renaissance was somehow cut off from the miraculous painters of the North. Every little effort to break that down is praiseworthy."Ames-Lewis, Francis is the author of 'Intellectual Life of the Early Renaissance Artist', published 2002 under ISBN 9780300092950 and ISBN 0300092954.
