Based on The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of Italian Renaissance frames, this volume presents a fully illustrated survey that traces the Italian frame from its origins in the great Gothic altarpieces.

Published in conjunction with an exhibit of the same name mounted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, November 1994 to February 1995. Four extended essays explore several aspects of illuminated books by five generations of artists in Florence. The catalogue section includes 55 entries on 110 works of art, accompanied by 296 illustrations, about half in color; each entry includes a descriptive commentary, a provenance, and references. Because many illuminated books were cut apart and disseminated into different collections, a goal of the exhibition was to reconstruct disassembled books, in some cases for the first time. 10x12" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Identified as the first in a planned series of in-depth catalogues of European paintings in the Museum, this one sets a high standard. Seventy-three paintings are treated in detail, each entry providing full bibliographic and provenance information, and condition notes based on comprehensive scientific examination. A concise essay places each work in the artist's oeuvre, with discussion of attribution and iconography. Every painting is reproduced in large scale, many in color, with comparative figure illustrations where appropriate. Distributed by Northeastern U. Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
