Pisanello : painter to the renaissance court
Syson, Luke
Pisanello : painter to the renaissance court / Luke Syson ; Dillian Gordon - London : National Gallery Company , 2001 - 264 p. : illus. ; 30 cm
Life and work -- The culture of chivalry in Italy -- Classical learning and court art -- Devotion, poetry and pleasure : the London panel paintings -- Artistic individuality and the workshop tradition.
Pisanello was the most celebrated artist of the early Italian Renaissance. A painter in fresco and on panel, a prolific and innovative draughtsman prized especially for minutely observed studies of animals and birds, he also became the first modern specialist of the portrait medal. Inspired equally by Arthurian romance, Gothic manuscript illuminations, classical antiquity and contemporary court fashions, his work provides a vivid record of the interests and ideals of his patrons, notably the Gonzaga, Este and Visconti rulers of northern Italian city states.
