Frederick Hartt's unrivaled classic is a dazzling journey through four centuries of Italian Renaissance painting, sculpture, and architecture.

Highlights of this Fifth Edition include: * a striking new design with more than half the artworks illustrated in full color * new views of frescoes and sculptures photographed in their original locations that offer a dynamic insight into the way the art was originally experienced * fresh views of great works of art that have been restored since the last edition * extended captions that identify Renaissance patrons and provide details about historical context, emphasizing how the art was created and why

This is a meticulously produced monograph on a model of a small stucco that Hartt, a noted authority on Michelangelo, argues is the original model made by the artist for his colossal marble David of 1501-1504 in Florence. The case is not airtight but strong; Hartt draws on a lifetime of looking at Italian art, focusing his knowledge and the indefinable essence of connoisseurship on the 6-inch fragment in a personal, readable text. The photographs of the object by David Finn are excellent, as are the comparative plates. A book about Michelangelo, but also about seeing itself.

A book which covers the history of painting, sculpture, and architecture. It opens with a chapter that grounds the reader in the vocabulary and basic concepts of art, aesthetics, and art history. The intellectual, religious, political, and social contexts of the visual arts are also explored.
