This major survey, by a leading authority on medieval and renaissance book illumination, gives the first comprehensive account in English of an immensely creative and relatively little-studied art form. Jonathan J. G. Alexander describes key illuminated manuscripts and printed books from the period and explores the social and material worlds in which they were produced. Renaissance humanism encouraged wealthy members of the laity to join the clergy as readers and book collectors. Illuminators responded to patrons' developing interest in classical motifs, and celebrated artists such as Mantegna and Perugino occasionally worked as illuminators. Italian illuminated books found patronage across Europe, their dispersion hastened by the French invasion of Italy at the end of the 15th century. Richly illustrated, The Painted Book in Renaissance Italy is essential reading for all scholars and students of Renaissance art. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Italian $y 15th century. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Italian $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Renaissance $z Italy. 650 7 $a ART / History / Renaissance. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Book. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Italy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Renaissance. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967315 650 7 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967343 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a 1400-1599 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE946996FCE711E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
