Lots of high-quality black and white photos of old paintings. A few color plates.
... In this uniquely comprehensive guide to sixteenth-century Renaissance art, Linda Murray not only examines the manifold achievements of Italian artists, but also examines the strongly individual forms taken by the Renaissance and Mannerism in Northern Europe and in Spain -- in the work of painters as varied as Durer, Bruegel, and El Greco and in the significant contribution made by architects outside Italy.
