Long hailed as one of the most comprehensive and richly detailed chronologies of painting, sculpture, and architecture in Italy from c.1200 AD to c. 1594 AD, this text focuses on the works of art, their creators, and the circumstances affecting their creation. The text is organised chronologically, with individual chapters dedicated to developments in different areas or cities, such as Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Venice, and North Italy. There is a strong emphasis on understanding the works of individual artists as examples of their specific approach and style.
