Painting re-invented itself during the 15th century in Florence.
Artists experimented in an innovative manner with pictorial
subjects, forms and techniques and thus arrived at an unprece
dented diversity of means of artistic expression. This volume tells
in an interesting and nuanced manner of a unique creative
development which permanently changed art in Europe. By means of
prestigious works of painting, sculpture and drawing the book aff
ords a wide range of insights into the world of ideas and the
working methods of the Florentine artists. With new self-confidence
they investigated reality and the laws of harmony and beauty. They
drew from Nature and studied the art of Antiquity. Starting out
from drawing and in competition with sculpture, the painters thus
discovered completely new forms for the realistic portrayal of Man,
for example in the portrait, as well as emotionally moving
devotional pictures. The latest research on the outstandin g
Florentine paintings in the Alte Pinakothek permits a new
perspective on one of the most exciting chapters of art history.
