This book of postcards presents thirty marvels of the Renaissance from the extraordinary collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The master painters whose luminous works are reproduced here represent different periods (from the fifteenth to the sixteenth centuries) and different schools (Venetian, Florentine, Milanese, Central Italian, Netherlandish, and German). What their portraits, domestic scenes, interpretations of Greek myths, and devotional works have in common is a mastery of color, composition, and psychological depth—elements that, combined, form the definition of a masterpiece.
Contains 30 oversized color postcards.
Size: 4.75 x 6.78 inches
