'It is a truly ground-breaking and dauntingly omniscient consideration of a subject of obviously seminal importance which everyone else has shied away from ... bound to be essential reading for anyone interested in the Italian renaissance, and it is impossible to imagine it being superseded.' Apollo
'... based on years of scrupulous, exhaustive research ... the author's findings are invariably grounded in her knowledge of the already ample literature on the subject. Bambach's book goes a long way to shed much-needed light on the laborious and complex working processes of Renaissance painting.' Apollo
In Drawing and Painting in the Italian Renaissance Workshop, Carmen Bambach re-assesses the role of artists and their assistants in the creation of monumental painting. Analyzing wall paintings and drawings, Bambach convincingly reconstructs the development of workshop practice and design theory in the early modern period of the Italian Renaissance.
