  • Description

    The catalogue, which accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, traces how the humanist praise of women influenced and enlivened their depiction. An introduction by editor and exhibition organizer David Alan Brown and four engaging essays by other experts on Renaissance art–Dale Kent, Joanna Woods-Marsden, Mary Westerman Bulgarella and Roberta Orsi Landini, and Victoria Kirkham–perfectly complement the more than one hundred illustrations, which include ninety-seven full-color plates.

    • Catalog of an exhibition held Sept. 30, 2001-Jan. 6, 2002 at the National Gallery of Art
    • "This beautifully illustrated and exquisitely designed volume of paintings, sculpture, medals, and drawings celebrates the extraordinary flowering of female portraiture, mainly in Florence, beginning in the latter half of the fifteenth century. Included are many of the finest portraits of women (and a few of men) by Filippo Lippi, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Sandro Botticelli, Andrea del Verrocchio, and Leonardo da Vinci - whose remarkable double-sided portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci, which departs notably from tradition, is the focus of special attention."–BOOK JACKET
