VG-/VG- (DJ is lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; boards are lightly scuffed/smudged/edgeworn; textblock edges are lightly worn/foxed; interior is clean; binding is solid.). Light blue cloth with color pictorial dustjacket. x, 310 pp., 43 color and 142 bw plates. From Library Journal: This well-illustrated inquiry examines individually and contextually the "eyewitness" paintings executed in Venice, ca. 1470-1530. Hung in government council chambers and religious lodges, these popular works depicted civic, diplomatic, and pious events of the day in a detailed but lyrical manner unique to the period. Their appeal derived from their surface beauty, lifelike portrayals, and inventive form as well as from their expression of contemporary social, cultural, and aesthetic values. Brown reconstructs the socio-political climate and visual culture that fostered these works, also offering a catalog of pre-1534 narrative painting cycles. For specialized collections.
