Symbolic Images

Więcej o książce

These classic studies on the interpretation of images are essential reading for all students of Renaissance art and have helped to shape the evolving discipline of art history. Many of the essays focus on the greatest artists of the Renaissance -- notably Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo -- and all reflect the author's deep concern with standards, values, and problems of method. Gombrich never loses sight of the works of art he is investigating, bringing to all his analyses and interpretations original intelligence, clarity of expression, and immense learning. These volumes have permanent value and represent a vitally important humanistic tradition in scholarship and criticism.
