Filled with great masterpieces by such artists as Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, and Titian, How to Read Italian Renaissance Painting takes the reader into their world.

The result is an original, accessible, and affordable volume that offers an introduction into the art and culture of the Italian Renaissance.
