Professor White's historical study of the rediscovery of pictorial space during the Renaissance and of its origins in antiquity was acclaimed when it first appeared. It opened up important new avenues of research and exploration. It has remained a seminal work, and he has now brought it fully up to date for a third edition. He has included a substantial new appendix on "Leonardo, Brunelleschi and the viewing distance". John White is Pro-Provost for External Affairs and formerly Professor of History of Art at University College London. This book is intended for students of history of art and of the Rennaissance.

The 14th century in Italian art is a very rich one, and Professor White's book gives architecture equal weight with painting and sculpture. The story of the Gothic style and the prehistory of the Renaissance is given: all the facts are related, but also the works of art are described with insight and for their own sakes, and not simply as data for fitting into schemes and theories. Among the great names are those of Arnolfo di Cambio, the Pisani, Cavallini, Cimabue, Duccio, Giotto, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti; among the buildings S. Croce, S. Maria Novella, the cathedral and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, and the cathedrals of Siena, Orvieto, and Milan, as well as churches, castles, and civic buildings from the Val d'Aosta to Sicily. The third edition of this work includes colour illustrations and incorporates textual revisions and an updated bibliography.
