First Edition.
The best single statement ever made by Bernard Berenson of his aesthetic principles and methods of procedure. It deserves to be read by every student of art history. Of the title essay Berenson himself wrote, "I have pusblished books and articles, but, except one on the rudiments of connoisseurship, dating from the beginning of my activities, I have written almost nothing about the assumptions and convictions that have shaped and directed my work." Also included in this volume are Berenson's famous essay on the architectureof the Renaissance church, and short studies of Raphael, Mantegna, Filippin Lipp, and others - all superb examples of connoisseurship in practice.
