"Vacillating between the majesty of the Greco-Byzantine heritage and the modernity forecasted by Giotto, Early Italian painting summarises the first steps that led to the Renaissance. Trying out new media, those first artists left frescoes for removable panels. If the sacred faces shock us novices, this distance was more than wanted during this era and in order to emphasise the divinity of the characters; it highlighted their divinity and comforted the sanctified with a background covered with gold leaves. The elegance of the line and the colour choice was combined to reinforce the symbolic choices. The half-confessed ultimate goal of the early Italian artists was to make the invisible ... visible. In this magnificent book, the author emphasises the importance that the rivalry between the Siennese and Florentine schools played for the evolution of art history. And the reader, in the course of these forgotten masterworks, will discover how, little by little, the sacred became incarnate and more human ... opening a discrete but definitive door through the use of anthropomorphism, as was cherished by the Renaissance."-- Publisher's website

This volume offers the first comprehensive study of painting in Renaissance Perugia from the late fifteenth to the mid- sixteenth centuries. Showcasing works by Perugino, Raphael, and Pintoricchio, as well as less familiar artists who worked in Perugia from ca. 1480-1540, Sheri Shaneyfelt traces the influence and impact of Perugino's workshop in central Italy over more than a half a century. She demonstrates why Perugia, which has been overlooked in modern scholarship, was such a vital center for the production of early modern Italian art. Shaneyfelt's study also shifts the focus away from the analysis of individual artistic creativity by highlighting the importance and significance of collaboration and workshop production in Renaissance Italy. Interweaving historical and archival evidence with analyses of numerous paintings and drawings, her book, richly illustrated with 115 color illustrations, offers many new insights into the vibrant artistic culture of early modern Perugia.

Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts entstand in Europa ein breites Interesse für italienische Malerei der Vor- und Frührenaissance. In Preußen war es besonders groß - innerhalb weniger Jahre kamen hunderte Gemälde nach Berlin. Der ästhetische, historische und politische Wert der Bilder wurde vielfältig diskutiert: Sie wurden zu identitätsstiftenden Kulturträgern, setzten Maßstäbe für die Geschmacksbildung des Publikums und für das Schaffen zeitgenössischer Künstler. Anhand neu erschlossener Quellen werden die in Preußen wahrgenommenen Gemälde im Detail identifiziert, ihr Weg aus Italien nachverfolgt und ihre wechselnden Zuschreibungen dokumentiert. Zu dieser virtuellen historischen Galerie öffnet sich auch ein Panorama europäischer Netzwerke von Sammlern, Händlern, Museums- und Staatsvertretern.
