Sort by title, author, format, publication date, or price »| 25. |  | Sassetta: The Borgo San Sepolcro Altarpiece Sassetta, the subtle genius from Siena, revolutionized Italian painting with an altarpiece for the small Tuscan town of Borgo San Sepolcro in 1437–1444. This book solves the three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of this masterwork’s reconstruction and, on a firm scientific foundation, restores it to its vivid historical context. |
| 27. |  | The twenty-two essays collected here delve into recent research on the development of humanism and art in the Hungary of King Matthias Corvinus and his successors. Richly illustrated with new photography, this book eloquently documents and explores the unique role played by the Hungarian court in the cultural history of Renaissance Europe. |
| 28. |  | Colors Between Two Worlds: The Florentine Codex of Bernardino de Sahagún For half a century the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún (1499–1590) worked on a compendium of the beliefs, rituals, language, arts, and economy of the vanishing Aztec culture. This volume examines the Aztec use of color—in art and everyday life—as revealed in the Codex, the most richly illustrated manuscript of this great ethnographic work. |
| 29. |  | Renaissance Studies in Honor of Joseph Connors, Volumes 1 and 2 The two richly illustrated volumes of Renaissance Studies in Honor of Joseph Connors demonstrate Villa I Tatti’s role as the world’s leading center for Italian Renaissance studies. Gathered to honor I Tatti’s director from 2002 to 2010, the 177 essays represent the cutting edge of Renaissance scholarship in art history, literature, music, and more. |
