It will be welcomed by students and researchers in the history of art and cultural history, as well as anyone interested in the culture and history of Italy.</p> <p><br /> Both volumes are richly illustrated and include works by Titian, Botticelli, Bellini, Lotto, Da Modena, Giotto, Pisano, and many others.</p> <p>Volume II includes contributions from Giovanni Previtali on the periodization of Italian art history, Giovanni Romero on art and everyday life in the Renaisssance court, Salvatore Settis on iconography in the Middle Ages, Bruno Toscano on art and the church in the seventeenth century, and Federico Zeri on the concept of the Renaissance and the conflict between historical and art-historical periods.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>These well-chosen essays provide a comprehensive overview of Italian art. <i>The Art Book Review</i><br /> <p>Very useful essays here, and all of them could be readily set for undergraduate and graduate reading. <i>The Oxford Art Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Peter Burke</strong> is Professor Emeritus of Cultural History of Cambridge University.
