Description: In this revised and updated edition of the standard work on the period Professor Freedberg discusses the individual painters and analyses the hallmarks of their work. He traces the classical style of the High Renaissance, the Mannerism that succeeded it, and the events in North Italy especially, that resist stylistic categories. It is his achievement to have ordered this diversity, but at the same time to have preserved the intense individuality of the works of art, many of which are now illustrated in colour.--Back cover
