A legendary connoisseur of Italian painting, Bernard Berenson (1865-1959) built his authority and fortune solely on the power of his eye, capable of recognizing among a thousand a copy of an original or of reconstructing the work of a forgotten Italian master.
Between 1894 and 1907, Berenson rewrote nothing less than the history of Renaissance painting , in four small books covering the Peninsula by region. Their success was such that in 1930 they were published in a single volume, The Italian Painters of the Renaissance.
Masterfully translated by art historian Louis Gillet, this work restores Berenson's very passionate vision , for whom the Renaissance is the mirror of our own youth and possesses the brilliance of "those years when, to ourselves and to others, we appeared full of promise."
