The Drawings of the Florentine Painters (Three Volumes in One)

"It is without doubt his most remarkable and lasting contribution as an art historian..."

-Carmen C. Bambach, The Burlington Magazine (1903)




The Drawings of the Florentine Painters (1903) by noted Renaissance art historian Bernard Berenson, provides the expert analysis that influenced the art world in the US. This publication combines the original three volumes: Volume I-Text; Volume II-Catalogue Raisonné; Volume III-Illustration, with over 900 pages. The book is the only singular compilation that includes the drawings of nearly 70 of the most recognized Florentine painters including da Vinci and Michelangelo. Due to the age of the illustrations, there are imperfections in their quality; however, the book remains culturally important to history and the art world.
