PITTURA DEL DUECENTO AFIRENZE | 1957 I RIST. | C. L. RAGGHIANTI

Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti’s Pittura del Duecento a Firenze is a scholarly study of Italian medieval painting, focusing on the artistic production of Florence in the 13th century. The book examines stylistic developments from Byzantine influences to early Tuscan experiments, highlighting the transition toward monumental narrative painting that anticipates the innovations of Cimabue and Giotto. Illustrated with numerous plates in color and black-and-white, it offers both visual documentation and critical interpretation. Ragghianti contextualizes these works within broader cultural and spiritual frameworks, making the volume a key resource for understanding the foundations of Renaissance art and the transformation of visual language in medieval Florence.
