About this title

Review:

Of interest not only to Art Historians, but to anyone concerned with the material culture of the Renaissance. (Dr Jonathan Sawday, University of Southampton)

It is now almost 50 years since Painting and Experience was first published, yet it retains its power to reconceptualise the History of Art in ways that both closely define and open up to the broadest possible interpretation of what is the very best about the discipline. (Genevieve Warwick, History Today)

Synopsis:

Examines the relationship between the painter and his public and relates the Renaissance styles and techniques to contemporary culture.
