This sumptuously illustrated paperback catalogue charts the history of drawing in Italy from 1400 just prior to the emergence in Florence of the classically inspired naturalism of the Renaissance style to around 1510 when Michelangelo Raphael and Titian were on the verge of taking the innovations of earlier masters such as Leonardo and Pollaiuolo in a new direction
The book highlights the key role played by drawing in artistic teaching and in how artists studied the human body and the natural world
Aspects of regional difference the development of new drawing techniques and classes of graphic work such as finished presentation pieces to impress patrons are also explored
An extended introduction focusing on how and why artists made drawings with a special emphasis on the pivotal role of Leonardo is richly illustrated with examples from the two collections that elucidate the technique and function of the works
