A major account of Renaissance portraiture by one of the twentieth
century’s most eminent art historians In this book, John
Pope-Hennessy provides an unprecedented look at two centuries of
experiment in portraiture during the Renaissance. Pope-Hennessy
shows how the Renaissance cult of individuality brought with it a
demand that the features of the individual be perpetuated, a
concept first manifested in the portraits that fill the great
Florentine fresco cycles and led, later in the fifteenth century,
to the creation of the independent portrait by such artists as
Sandro Botticelli, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Giovanni Bellini, and
Antonello da Messina. Pope-Hennessy goes on to describe the process
by which Titian and the great artists of the High Renaissance
transformed the portrait from a record of appearance into an
analysis of character.
