Title: Story and Space in Renaissance Art
First published: 1995
Description: The Rebirth of Continuous Narrative focuses on a puzzling but ubiquitous feature of Renaissance art: continuous narrative, in which several episodes, each including the same characters, are shown in a single space or setting. Continuous narratives have often been considered to be incompatible with the new system of representing space, one-point perspective, which has been traditionally understood to freeze time as it unifies pictorial space.

In this study, Lew Andrews reassesses the problem and offers a new interpretation of continuous narrative.
