Art
The Fine Arts list covers the range of art history, from antiquity to the present. Books within the list represent a range of methodologies, both cutting edge and traditional, and cover architecture, sculpture, photography, painting, and art theory.
The Architecture in Giotto's Paintings
This book offers an analysis of Giotto's painted architecture, focusing on issues of structural logic, clarity of composition, and its role within the narrative of the painting. Francesco Benelli shows how Giotto's images of fictive buildings, as well as portraits of well-known monuments, play an important role in the overall narrative, iconography, and meaning of his works. The conventions established by Giotto remained at the heart of early modern Italian painting until the sixteenth century.

The Italian Renaissance and Cultural Memory
Why did Renaissance art come to matter so much, so widely, and for so long? Patricia Emison's answer depends on a recalibrated view of the long Renaissance – from 1300 to 1600 – synthesizing the considerable evolution in our understanding of the epoch since the foundational 19th-century studies of Burckhardt and Wölfflin.
