Book of "Portraits of the Renaissance" Assouline

Very nice book "Portraits of the Renaissance from Assouline editions.

Absolutely gorgeous and so inspiring. A book that contains 70 illustrations.

Memling, Van Eyck, Antonello da Messina, Raphael, Holbein, Titian, Leonardo. . . they are the greatest names of the Renaissance, symbolizing the pinnacle of artistic achievement.

All were masters of portraiture, but the genius of these artists enabled them to go beyond the limits of the genre and to include the art of portraiture in the universal history of humanity.

Well focused, spectacularly reproduced in an extraordinarily large format volume and featuring meticulously researched illustrations, this magnificent book is the first of its kind to shed new light on some of the best-known images in art history.

About the author: Graduated from ESSEC in 1987, Nathalie Mandel discovered the art market when she worked for the great Parisian auctioneer Jacques Tajan. She has been working for Sotheby's since 2001 as an expert in the Old Master Paintings department.
