tailieunhanh - THE FLORENTINE PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE WITH AN INDEX TO THEIR WORKS

Years have passed since the second edition of this book. But as most of this time has been taken up with the writing of my “Drawings of the Florentine Painters,” it has, in a sense, been spent in preparing me to make this new edition. Indeed, it is to that bigger work that I must refer the student who may wish to have the reasons for some of my attributions. There, for instance, he will find the intricate Carli question treated quite as fully as it deserves. Jacopo del Sellajo is inserted here for the first time. Ample accounts. | THE FLORENTINE PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE WITH AN INDEX TO THEIR WORKS BY BERNHARD BERENSON AUTHOR OF VENETIAN PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE LORENZO LOTTO CENTRAL ITALIAN PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE THIRD EDITION REVISED AND ENLARGED G.

There for instance he will find the intricate Carli question treated quite as fully as it deserves. Jacopo del Sellajo is inserted here for the first time. Ample accounts of this frequently entertaining tenth-rate painter may be found in articles by Hans Makowsky Mary Logan and Herbert Horne. The most important event of the last ten years in the study of Italian art has been the rediscovery of an all but forgotten great master iv Pietro Cavallini. The study of his fresco at S. Cecilia in Rome and of the other works that readily group themselves with it has illuminated with an unhoped-for light the problem of Giotto s origin and development. I felt stimulated to a fresh consideration of the subject. The results will be noted here in the inclusion for the first time of Cimabue and in the lists of paintings ascribed to Giotto and his immediate assistants. B. B. Boston November 1908. vPREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION The lists have been thoroughly revised and some of them considerably increased. Botticini Pier Francesco Fiorentino and Amico di Sandro have been added partly for the intrinsic value of their work and partly because so many of .
