Antiquity in the Renaissance

The catalogue for an exhibition that contrasted two Renaissance approaches to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity in the examples of Cyriacus of Ancona, who faithfully recorded examples of antiquity, and Andrea Mantegna, who transformed it. The catalogue presents 129 works--including paintings, drawings, sculpture, medallions and other objects--with descriptive text, annotation, and illustrations for each. The exhibit was held at the Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, MA, April 6 - June 6, 1978. Text by Wendy Stedman Sheard; foreword by Charles Chetham. Unpaginated [ca. 280 pages]; over 129 b&w illustrations; 8.5 x 11 inches. Bibliography, index.
