Cover worn.<br>This beautiful book provides a survey o f European painting in northern and southern Europe between 1260 and 1510. It is based largely on the collection of early Renaissa nce paintings in the National Gallery in London, one of the fines t and most comprehensive collections in the world. In an extensi ve introduction the authors explain the background of religious b elief and devotional practice for which many of the paintings wer e created and the secular requirements and ambitions that influen ced them. They discuss the social context in which art was create d and then displayed in the street, the palace, or the church, an d they consider the role of the patron and the dealer. They descr ibe the artist's workshop, consider the role of apprentices and a ssistants, discuss the influence of guilds and courts, and explor e the reasons why new subjects and techniques were introduced and earlier traditions survived. They then supply the first full mod ern account of the materials and techniques of the early Renaissa nce artist, drawing on recent research to explain the preparation of panels, the application of gold leaf, and the use of tempera and oil paint. The book also features a detailed examination of some seventy of the finest and best known paintings in the Galle ry, including masterpieces by Duccio, Van Eyck, Mantegna, Piero d ella Francesca, Bouts, Bellini, Memling, Raphael, and Leonardo. T he book is a stimulating and authoritative guide to the paintings in the Galleryfor those who can observe them in person and for t hose who must view them through the printed page.
