Drawing in early Renaissance Italy

by Francis Ames-Lewis

During the fifteenth century drawing developed from a subsidiary role in the production of finished paintings to an art form in its own right. In this beautiful book, Francis Ames-Lewis examines the works of the major draughtsmen of the century -- Pisanello, Jacopo Bellini, Pollaiuolo, Ghirlandaio, Carpaccio, and Leonardo -- in order to discuss the new types of drawing that evolved.
