Scholars have traditionally viewed the Italian Renaissance artist
as a gifted, but poorly educated craftsman whose complex and
demanding works were created with the assistance of a more educated
advisor. These assumptions are, in part, based on research that has
focused primarily on the artist's social rank and workshop
training. In this volume, Angela Dressen explores the range of
educational opportunities that were available to the Italian
Renaissance artist. Considering artistic formation within the
history of education, Dressen focuses on the training of highly
skilled, average artists, revealing a general level of learning
that was much more substantial than has been assumed. She
emphasizes the role of mediators who had a particular interest in
augmenting artists' knowledge, and highlights how artists used
Latin and vernacular texts to gain additional knowledge that they
avidly sought. Dressen's volume brings new insights into a topic at
the intersection of early modern intellectual, educational, and art
history.
