The study focuses on the transition from the late Medieval period to the early Renaissance, providing a detailed analysis of the various schools of painting that emerged in Italy during the 13th and 14th centuries. Offner employs his expert eye to scrutinize specific panels, altarpieces, and fragments, offering insights into the artists' techniques and the evolution of their craft. By addressing previous scholarship and providing updated perspectives, this book serves as a vital resource for understanding the development of Western art history. It is an essential volume for researchers, curators, and students of the Italian Renaissance, highlighting the historical and aesthetic value of one of the most significant collections of early Italian art in the United States.

Painting in Britain 1500-1630: Production, Influences and Patronage
<p>This book is the first major essay volume in over a decade to focus on Tudor and Jacobean painting. Its interdisciplinary approach reflects the dynamic state of research in the field, utilising a range of methodologies in order to answer key art historical questions about the production and consumption of art in Britain in the 16th and early 17th century. <br> The introduction sets the tone for the interdisciplinary approach that is taken throughout the volume .It brings together a discussion of the context for the production of painted images in Tudor and Jacobean England with a selection of technical images of twenty paintings that span the period and demonstrate the information that can be gained from material analysis of paintings.<br> In further chapters, leading exponents of painting conservation and conservation science discuss the material practices of the period, using and explaining a range of analytical techniques, such as infrared reflectography and dendochronology. Questions of authorship and aspects of workshop practice are also discussed. As well as looking at specific artists and their studios, the authors take a broader view in order to capture information about the range of artistic production during the period, stretching from the production of medieval rood screens to the position of heraldic painters. The final section of the book addresses artistic patronage, from the commissioning of works by kings and courtiers, to the regional networks that developed during the period and the influence of a developing antiquarianism on the market for paintings.<br> The book is lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, with reproductions of whole paintings and many details selected to amplify the text. It will be an essential source for those working in the fields of art history, conservation and material science, and of interest to lovers of British Tudor and Stuart painting.</p>
