Mantegna: With a Complete Catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings and Prints Details
From Library Journal An important addition to Italian Renaissance studies, this tome brings together past scholarship and original research and will undoubtedly become the definitive reference on Mantegna. The first complete catalogue raisonne of his oeuvre , it offers detailed descriptions, documentation and analysis of 229 works, including those that were lost, neglected and otherwise forgotten, as well as nearly 300 illustrations. In the text portion (half the book), chronologically arranged chapters discuss the master's stylistic development, techniques, patronage, commissions, literary and iconographic sources, and his attitudes toward the antique.
