Volume 2 of the comprehensive catalogue of the Yale University Art Gallery’s renowned collection of Italian paintingsThe Yale University Art Gallery is home to one of the largest and most distinguished collections of Italian paintings in the world. The second of four volumes covering this vast collection, this beautifully illustrated and expertly researched publication features more than seventy-five works dating from 1420 to 1490 by artists such as Gentile da Fabriano, Fra Angelico, Sassetta, Botticelli, and Neroccio de’ Landi. The book is particularly rich in Sienese and Florentine paintings, including one of the best-known Renaissance paintings in America: Antonio Pollaiuolo’s Hercules and Deianira. Also featured are an exceptional group of stucco reliefs that pair the efforts of major Florentine sculptors, including Donatello, with contemporary painters, and a rare, intact painted cassone by Paolo Uccello. Complete with detailed entries on each work—including technical notes, provenance, conservation history, questions of date and attribution, and wider cultural importance—this volume offers a nuanced picture of a fascinating period of Italian art and points to areas of future research in the field.  Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery
