Serving as both an introduction to fifteenth-century Italian painting and as a text on how to interpret social history from the style of pictures in a given historical period, this new edition of Baxandall's pre-eminent scholarly work focuses on how the style of painting in any society reflects the visual skills and habits that evolve out of daily life. Baxandall offers discussions of a wide variety of painters, including Filippo Lippi, Fra Angelico, Stefano di Giovanni, Sandro Botticelli, Masaccio, Luca Signorelli, Boccaccio, and countless others.
