Italian Art
Thomas Yoseloff Inc. | 1963 | ISBN: N/A | English | 688 pages | PDF | 129 MB

Italian Art, which is the fruit of many years of study and of much travel, presents the reader with a survey of the major arts of architecture, sculpture and painting in Italy from the early Christian period to the present day, and also includes briefer comment on the minor arts such as furniture, goldsmiths' work, ceramics, glass, engraving, etc. It is very fully documented, with bibliographies, and is fully indexed both under names of artists mentioned and under towns, thus allowing easy reference to most of the important towns of the peninsula and the works of art in them. The visitor to Italy will find this book an excellent guide to the great art treasures to be seen there, while it will be invaluable to the student as a ready work of reference, and as a clear and straight-forward history of Italian art.
