Chapter IV: Fra Filippo Lippi and the New Narrative Style

Text size

Footnote 39:

_Fra Filippo Lippi._ Edward C. Strutt, _Fra Filippo Lippi_, London,
1906. Vasari’s _Life_ is capital. Robert Browning’s poem, in _Men and
Women_, an admirable side-light.

Footnote 40:

_Benozzo Gozzoli._ I accept Col. G. F. Young’s date for these
frescoes. See _The Medici_, New York, 1909, Vol. I., Chapter vii,
where there is a good analysis of this decoration.

Footnote 41:

_Antonio Pollaiuolo._ Maud Crutwell’s _Antonio Pollaiuolo_, London and
New York, 1907. For later information consult Venturi, _Storia_, Vol.
VII, pt. I, pp. 558–578.

Footnote 42:

_Piero della Francesca._ W. G. Waters, _Piero della Francesca_,
London, 1901; and Corrado Ricci’s superbly illustrated folio, _Piero
della Francesca_, Rome, 1910.

Footnote 43:

_Early Frescoes of the Sistine Chapel._ Magnificently reproduced in
the album accompanying Ernst Steinmann’s _Die Sixtinische Cappelle_,
Munich, 1901.

Footnote 44:

_Francesco Pesellino._ Consult Dr. W. Weisbach’s able and beautifully
illustrated work, _Francesco Pesellino und die Romantik der
Frührenaissance_, Berlin, 1901. For cuts of _Cassoni_, Paul Schubring,
_Cassoni_, Leipzig, 1915, and the books and articles already cited in
note 6 to Chapter 3.

Footnote 45:

_Domenico Ghirlandaio._ A copious and satisfactory life is that of
Gerald S. Davies, _Ghirlandaio_, London and New York, 1909. Briefer
but of greater cultural scope is Ghirlandaio, by Henri Hauvette,
Paris, “Les maîtres de l’art.” For a summary criticism my article in
_The Nation_ (N. Y.), Aug. 20, 1908, p. 167. Ruskin’s famous assault
on Ghirlandaio in _Mornings in Florence_ is joyous reading if
whimsically exaggerated.
