Description: Yale University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780300083040 Previous owner's name and date inscribed to half-title page, contents otherwise clean and unmarked; noticeable loss of color to spine of jacket. At the beginning of the fifteenth century, painters and sculptors were seldom regarded as more than artisans and craftsmen, but within little more than a hundred years they had risen to the status of "artist". This book explores how early Renaissance artists gained recognition for the intellectual foundations of their activities and achieved artistic autonomy from enlightened patrons. A leading authority on Renaissance art, Francis Ames-Lewis traces the ways in which the social and intellectual concerns of painters and sculptors brought about the acceptance of their work as a liberal art, alongside other arts like poetry. He charts the development of the idea of the artist as a creative genius with a distinct identity and individuality. 326 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; ISBN/EAN: 9780300083040.
