In this second volume of Professor White's studies, the emphasis
shifts to Italian art in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries,
and the major figures who were responsible for the decisive changes
in painting and sculpture that were to lead on to the Renaissance.
Here again, however, there is the same concern with the actual
monuments. The author devotes two major studies to the
reconstruction of the "original appearance of Duccio's Maesta and
of Nicola Pisano's Perugia Fountain. An important new study of the
physical evidence for Cimabue's work at Assisi shows the value of
an understanding of the working processes involved there. This
conviction that the starting point in a thorough investigation into
the original appearance or development of any work of art lies in
the observation of the physical evidence is central to Professor
White's approach, whether this may be the arrangement of panels on
a polyptych, or the scrutiny of giornate on a painted ceiling.
