Highlights of this fifth edition include a new design with more than half the artworks illustrated in full color, new views of frescoes and sculptures photographed in their original locations that offer insight into the way the art was originally experienced, fresh views of great works of art that have been restored since the last edition, and extended captions that identify Renaissance patrons and provide details about historical context, emphasizing how the art was created and why. Building on the book's more than 30-year tradition, revising author David G. Wilkins blends new scholarly discoveries with the enthusiasm that Hartt conveyed to generations of students and admirers of Italian Renaissance art.
