Renaissance Art
Year of lectures: Unknown
Abstract:
"We may say that despite new stirrings of originality in Italy, Italian thirteenth century architecture, sculpture and painting is still dominated by the Gothic style. France remained at this time the art centre of the world; and the current of influence still swept from north o south, from France and Germany into Italy.
"During the first half of the fourteenth century, however, that is, during the Trencento, Italy saw daring innovations and developments in the art of painting and in painting became the most advanced country of the west; so that for painting, at least, the current of influence, after many centuries, changed and began to flow from Italy to the north."
