Carman (art history, State U. of New York-Buffalo) finds in civic humanism a resolution to a tension between an active life and one devoted to heavenly contemplation in 15th-century Italy, and uses it as a frame to view Renaissance culture. He explores the role artists played and the extent to which their painting, sculpture, and architecture expresses some sense of both experiential and spiritual consciousness. Each of the six essays, many first delivered as papers, analyzes a particular quality in some of the major works within the canon. Their topics include human dignity, a Renaissance microcosm, the poetry of painting, and the mind triumphant. The text is double spaced; the reproductions are monochrome. Annotation c.

Read for my class: Leonardo, Raphael, and their Contemporaries
A very good survey. It's difficult to find a good survey, but my professor is literally 90+ years old, so he's had time to look around. This one is very good because it includes more than just the recognized masters, but also their teachers and their influences and predecessors. Additionally, Hartt spends a great deal of time explaining the processes of creating the various types of painting (tempera, oil, on different media) or fresco (buon, secco, etc.) or sculpture, which taught me a great deal. Finally, the glossary in the back has proven very helpful with Italian and Greek terminology for iconographical symbols or parts of altarpieces and other little tidbits. The only downside to this book is the masterworks he chose. I wish there were more variety, but that may have to do with museums and copywrite and nothing to do with Hartt.
