New York: Artabras. A Division of Abbeville Publishing Group, (1994). Second Printing. Hardcovers. Large Quartos (13 x 11 1/4 inches), Vol. I: 1 - 704pp; Vol. II 705 - 1312pp. Original deep blue patterned cloth with gilt titling to spines and numbering to front boards. Cloth slip case with illustrated panels. Colour and b&w illustrations. A massive study of Florentine art by three leading art historians, which links the extraordinary architecture, painting and sculpture of the city, with its rich cultural and political life from the thirteenth century through to the start of the seventeenth century. The hundreds of artists discussed include such greats as Botticelli, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Ghiberti, Leonardo, and Raphael, to name but a few. Illustrated with more than 700 color images and another 854 duotones and architectural drawings. A fine set - literally as new in a near-Fine slipcase. Due to the enormous size of the set we will only ship via media mail within the United States. The set alone weighs some 22 pounds without packaging, so shipping will be more than that automatically quoted (which is predicated on an average book weighing less than 2 pounds), and the cost will be calculated and quoted dependant upon the destination.
