Correggio (The Library of Great Masters) Details
From Booklist Correggio is the twenty-second artist to be profiled in this reasonably priced yet high-quality paperback series devoted to artists of the Italian Renaissance. Each volume in the Library of Great Masters provides succinct historical and biographical information about the artist and his work, accompanied by approximately 100 colorplates including many full-page (81/4 inches by 11 inches) reproductions. The series, produced and originally published in Italy, covers the work of such well-known artists as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Donatello, and Raphael as well as painters who deserve greater recognition, including Pontormo, the subject of a forthcoming volume. These color-rich and finely detailed books are excellent introductions to the lives and work of remarkable and enduringly influential Renaissance artists and contain substantially more examples of their paintings and sculptures than a chapter on Italian art in a standard art-history textbook. And the price can't be beat. Donna Seaman Read more Language Notes Text: English (translation) Original Language: Italian Read more
Reviews
I wanted to learn more about Correggio and while this book showcased a lot of his work it didn't do a lot besides that. It's very minimal and I was hoping for more.
