Taken all together, the museums of Florence are one of the wonders of the world, for the spiritual values that they embody as much as for the works they contain.  The painting collections in the state museums of Florence are unequalled for their quality, historical significance, and for the sheer number of works; never before have they been presented in a publication of such splendid technical quality. Thus the reader can trace the various phases and great moments of Florentine painting, including lesser known works of the seventeenth century; can appreciate the presence of masterpieces from other, perhaps unknown, schools; and can examine details different from the standard ones consecrated by tradition.  Text in English and Italian.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736788017425,"sku":"NGR9788870572803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50261767520529,"sku":"CIN8870572803G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656409444625,"sku":"NLS9788870572803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8870572803.jpg?v=1751419863"},{"product_id":"paintings-in-the-uffizi-and-pitti-galleries-book-mina-gregori-9780821220849","title":"Paintings in the Uffizi and Pitti Galleries","description":"The Uffizi and Pitti Galleries are treasure houses of the most well-known masterpieces in Italian and Northern Renaissance art including Botticelli's \"Birth of Venus\", Leonardo's \"Annunciation\", Durer's \"Adoration of the Magi\" and Titian's \"Venus of Urbino\". The book contains these and nearly 1,000 other works from the two galleries, making this in essence a portable gallery with works from everyone from Cimabue and Giotto to Pollaiuolo, Breugel and van der Goes from the Northern Renaissance. Works by Caravaggio, El Greco, Rembrandt, Rubens and van Dyck are also featured. The two galleries are linked by an enclosed bridge that houses the largest collection of self-portraits in the world, and these are highlighted in this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49810299420945,"sku":"CIN0821220845G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49859006300433,"sku":"CIN0821220845A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49987570237713,"sku":"GOR013829292","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51282986467601,"sku":"CIN0821220845VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0821220845.jpg?v=1751421353"},{"product_id":"painters-of-reality-book-andrea-bayer-9780300102758","title":"Painters of Reality","description":"Inspired largely by Leonardo's brilliant naturalistic work for the Sforza court in Milan, Lombard artists of the late fifteenth century began to use direct observation to investigate the natural world. This heritage was of considerable importance in northern Italian art for two centuries, finding its greatest expression in the works of Caravaggio and influencing the course of Baroque painting in Rome and eventually elsewhere in Europe. Painters of Reality identifies the salient characteristics of this naturalistic strand in Lombard art. Building on the scholarship of renowned art historian Roberto Longhi, the authors reexamine the subject in light of subsequent literature. Essays range from broad discussions of naturalism in Lombard paintings and drawings (including a fresh consideration of works by Caravaggio) to more specialized treatments of Leonardo's influence, the schools of painting centered in Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona, and Milan, and Caravaggio's most notable successors in northern Italy. In addition to Leonardo and Caravaggio, masters such as Lotto, Savoldo, Moroni, and Ceruti and other significant but less widely known figures are represented. With its devotion to recording the unvarnished truth of daily life, its meticulously observed still lifes and landscapes, and its dramatic use of highly focused light to define form, Lombard art was hugely influential in its time and still holds much appeal today. This book is the catalogue of an exhibition jointly organized by the Associazione Promozione Iniziative Culturali di Cremona and The Metropolitan Museum of Art and held in Cremona (February 14 to May 2, 2004) and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (May 23 to August 14, 2004).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50216554660113,"sku":"CIN0300102755VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50634047160593,"sku":"CIN0300102755G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53373627040017,"sku":"GOR008670694","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300102755.jpg?v=1764162442"},{"product_id":"age-of-caravaggio-book-mina-gregori-9780847805969","title":"Age of Caravaggio","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50465157021969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50465158365457,"sku":"CIN0847805964G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847805964.jpg?v=1750850467"},{"product_id":"age-of-caravaggio-1590-1610-book-mina-gregori-9780870993800","title":"The Age of Caravaggio, 1590-1610","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51069982441745,"sku":"GOR007579866","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51115031003409,"sku":"GOR006750439","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870993801.jpg?v=1751298341"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-mina-gregori.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
