("In 1937 the London publishing firm of Chatto & Windus is...)
"In 1937 the London publishing firm of Chatto & Windus issued a 208-page volume devoted to Giovanni di Paolo. Written by a twenty-four-year-old scholar and art historian, it was hailed as one of the best books on an Italian artist to have appeared in years. This monograph combined connoisseurship with a meticulous command of documentary information and a sharp critical faculty, thereby ushering in the distinguished career of John Pope-Hennessy. Now, in this Bulletin, John Pope-Hennessy reexamines the painter about whom he first wrote. After more than fifty years, he has found Giovanni di Paolo to be a "richer and even more rewarding artist than I had originally supposed." The Metropolitan Museum of Art has twenty-one paintings by Giovanni di Paolo---the largest group of works by him outside his native Siena. Eleven of these are in the Robert Lehman Collection. They range from the magnificent Coronation of the Virgin, the center of a major altarpiece painted during the 1450s for an unidentified patron, to small narrative scenes from the predellas, or bases, of elaborate Gothic polyptychs. Few of these altarpieces have survived intact. In the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries they were dismantled, their pilasters and predellas cut apart, and sold. One of the primary problems confronting anyone writing on these works is the identification of related panels and their reconstruction, a task to which Pope-Hennessy's book addressed itself with remarkable success and to which he here adds further refinement. Giovanni di Paolo's reputation shifted widely over the centuries. He never lacked commissions during his life. Giovanni di Paolo painted large altarpieces for virtually all the important religious orders of his day and was given the task of creating the first comprehensive cycle on the life of Saint Catherine of Siena. However, his fame did not long outlast him: Renaissance taste made his Gothic works...." [from director's note by Philippe de Montebello]

For the fourth edition of this introduction to Italian sculpture, the author has thoroughly revised the text, notes and bibliographies, incorporating all the significant new research and publications since the last major revision in 1970-2. Volume I covers the period from about 1150 to 1400. The sculptors dealt with include Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Arnolfo di Cambio, Andrea and Nino Pisano, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Jacopo della Quercia. The monuments illustrated include the great Pisano pulpits, the facades of the cathedrals of Siena, Florence and Orvieto, Milan Cathedral and S. Petronio at Bologna, the Scaliger tombs at Verona, the Angevin monuments in Naples, and Ghiberti's famous door for the Baptistery in Florence. The new edition of this work provides an accessible introduction to the subject for scholars, students and all lovers of Italian art. At the same time its scholarly notes make it a valuable reference work. Each volume in the set of three can be enjoyed in its own right.

First published in 1955-63, Sir John Pope-Hennessy's classic Introduction to Italian Sculpture still stands as the definitive introduction to the subject. A triumph of clear organization, sustained critical scholarship and certain aesthetic judgement, its three volumes bring order to a huge mass of material, and present a magisterial survey of one of the most creative phases in Western art. These books have long been indispensable for scholars, students, curators, collectors and dealers. For the fourth edition of this great work, the text has been revised and updated, and new notes and bibliographies have been added. The design has been dramatically transformed, with all the illustrations now appearing in a single sequence integrated with the narrative text. Many new photographs have been obtained, and duotone printing has been used to achieve the highest possible quality of reproduction. This classic work is now reissued in this paperback edition, at a price that will make it also available to students and a wider public.

More personal and sophisticated than a standard guidebook, this essential guide to the Piero masterpieces provides a rare glimpse of the workings of the heart and mind of a world-famous art historian as he looks at and thinks about the paintings andfrescoes. One by one, he describes the stories they portray, their meticulous composition, and the crucial and surprising role of fate in the commission for the church of San Francesco. Originally published in 1993, the book quickly achieved a cult following; this new edition includes, for the first time, Aldous Huxley's "The Best Picture," the famous essay that first inspired Pope-Hennessy to seek out the luminous and enigmatic works that now constitute the pilgrimage known as The Piero della Francesca Trail. The thousands of tourists who travel to Tuscany each year to follow the trail will welcome the republication of this beautifully designed volume.

This authorative work captures the expressive force and spiritual depth of works by Donatello in 15th-century Italy. Born in 1386, Donatello came to be a towering figure of Italian renaissance art. His influence pervaded both sculpture and painting throughout the 15th-century and beyond. His statues embody the new image of man concieved by the Italian Humanists, the creators of renaissance scholarship and philosophy. In his sculpture, for the first time since classical antiquity and in striking contrast to medieval art, the human body is rendered as a self-activating, functional organism, and the human personality is endowed with a confidence in its own individual worth. Technically as well as philosophically, Donatello was an innovator, pioneering new techniques in both marble and bronze. John Pope-Hennessy is also the author of the highly acclaimed Cellini (1985)

( Called "Angelico" for his inimitable depictions of para...)
Called "Angelico" for his inimitable depictions of paradise, this artist (1400? -1455) and Dominican friar succeeded Masaccio as the foremost painter of the early Renaissance in Italy. Fra Angelico's painting has been beloved for centuries since as an emblem of the flowering genius of quattrocento Florence. In his engaging new appraisal, John Spike reveals the unexpectedly innovative qualities of Angelico's art, including his use of linear and geometric perspective (even before the publication of Leon Battista Alberti's famous treatise). Another of Angelico's inventions was the Renaissance altarpiece known as the sacra conversazione (sacred conversation), in which the Virgin and Child and saints, formerly each rigidly enclosed in separate panels, now gesture and relate to each other within a clearly unified space. Fra Angelico had a lifelong fascination with the written word, and as Spike persuasively demonstrates, the accuracy of his Greek, Latin, and Hebrew inscriptions reveal his participation in the linguistic studies that flourished in Florence and Rome in the first half of the fifteenth century. He created some of the most visionary and learned compositions of his century, from his Deposition for the private chapel of the humanist Palla Strozzi to the extensive commissions in Rome for the erudite Pope Nicholas v. In this volume Spike presents a major discovery: the secret program of the forty frescoes in the cells of the Dominican monastery of San Marco in Florence. All previous studies of this artist had concluded that the subjects and arrangement of these frescoes, the artist's masterworks, were chosen at random, or by the friars themselves. Instead, as the author now shows, Fra Angelico drew upon the mystical writings of the early church fathers to construct a spiritual exercise organized into three ascending levels of enlightenment. The San Marco frescoes can finally be seen as not only the most extensive cycle of works by any single painter of this century, but indeed the most complete pictorial expression of Renaissance theology. With fresh insights that will influence studies of quattrocento art for years to come, Spike uses his perceptive eye and judicious readings of documents to reassess the works of Angelico, his masters, and his assistants. This essential volume contains an extensive essay on the artist's life and work, followed by large color plates with detailed discussions of individual works. Finally, a catalog presents the artist's oeuvre, as revised by the author's new attributions. With lavish details of Angelico's works and an up-to-date bibliography, this volume is not only a feast for the eyes but an indispensable resource for anyone interested in this critical period of the Renaissance.

This major work by one of the twentieth century's most eminent art historians is available again in paperback through Princeton University Press. Here John Pope-Hennessy takes as his subject two centuries of experiment in portraiture during the Renaissance. He shows how the Renaissance cult of individuality brought with it a demand that the features of the individual be perpetuated. This concept was first manifested in the portraits that fill the great Florentine fresco cycles and led, later in the fifteenth century, to the creation of the independent portrait by such artists as Botticelli, Antonio Pollaiuolo, Giovanni Bellini, and Antonello da Messina. The author goes on to describe the process by which Titian and the great artists of the High Renaissance transformed the portrait from a record of appearance into an analysis of character.
