Christine Sciacca is assistant curator in the Department of Manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
"[This volume] will become an essential resource, not only for
beautiful plates but for scholarly commentary."--CAA Reviews
"A large and very well-illustrated volume that provides a
comprehensive view of Pacino di Bonaguida, one of the leading
painters and illuminators in fourteenth-century Florence, and of
some of his contemporaries active at the time of
Giotto."--Renaissance Quarterly
"Art history scholars will appreciate this luscious tome due to the
relative dearth of coverage of this particular subject, which was
prevalent in the first fifty years of the fourteenth century.
Beautiful illustrations will also appeal to students in the arts
and humanities, or your average armchair painting and illumination
enthusiast."--Art Libraries Society of North America
"Beautiful and scholarly."--Star Tribune
"Gorgeous color reproductions. . . . Valuable to scholars and
inviting to a broad readership."--Choice
"Terrific, richly illustrated, and readable."--ARTINFO
"The show, together with its first-rate catalogue, is among the
most important in an American museum this year."--Los Angeles
Times
"This catalogue is not only an outstanding companion to a striking
exhibition, but also a valuable source for scholars of
late-Medieval and early-Renaissance art. The essays and catalogue
entries shed light on a period that is too often overwhelmed by the
presence of Giotto or overshadowed by the achievements of
fifteenth-century giants such as Brunelleschi and Donatello.
Furthermore, it serves as an entr�e into the study of illuminated
manuscripts and lesser-known artists from a pivotal moment in
Florentine art."--Comitatus
