It is difficult to imagine an artist of the time--whether painter or sculptor, major or minor--who did not produce at least one. Though many have been displaced or dismembered, a substantial proportion of these works still survive. Despite the volume of material available, no serious attempt has ever been made to examine the whole subject in depth until now. \u003ci\u003eThe Italian Renaissance Altarpiece\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive study of the genre to examine its content and subject matter in real detail, from the origins of the altarpiece in the 13th century to the time of Caravaggio in the early 1600s. It discusses major developments in the history of these objects throughout Italy, covers the three key categories of Renaissance altarpiece--\"immagini\" (icons), \"historie\" (narratives), and \"misteri\" (mysteries)--and is illustrated with 250 beautiful reproductions of the artworks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Ekserdjian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300253648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300253641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.52h x 9.97w x 1.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2022","brand":"David Ekserdjian","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049861345535,"sku":"9780300253641","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74dfff91-5f24-4175-8837-9a35bf7bfe6d.jpg?v=1685003825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-italian-renaissance-altarpiece-david-ekserdjian-9780300253641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
