The new edition of this guide to Italian Renaissance art includes extended coverage of the Quattrocento and Cinquecento in Florence, Rome and Venice, as well as additional works by north Italian artists and Florentine Mannerists. David Wilkins' revisions follow Hartt's vision and approach, while drawing on new research to bring the text up to date. New colour plates include details of the freshly cleaned Sistine Chapel ceiling, and other works rephotographed after cleaning or restoration.
