Italian Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston: 13Th-15th Century

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.
