Book Description
Excerpt from A Guide to the Paintings in the Florentine Galleries: The Uffizi, the Pitti the Accademia So many important changes have been made within the last few years in the three Florentine Galleries that a new Guide has become indispensable. Not only have new rooms been, added old ones closed, and the places of numerous paintings been changed, but many of the old erroneous attributions have at last been altered in conformity with modern scientific criticism and documentary evidence. New works have been acquired, and the entire collection of the Gallery of S. Maria Nuova has been added to the Uffizi and dispersed among the rest. The official catalogues sold at the entrance have, it is true, been brought up to date as regards arrangement and the new attributions, but they are otherwise mere reprints of the old. The following work is intended not only as a catalogue for use in the Galleries, but as a book of reference for the student. All the facts known concerning the pictures are given, and an alphabetical index of the painters whose works are mentioned, with the date of their birth, death, school, master, and influences, is appended. The descriptions usually given in guide-books, catalogues, and even in critical works are apt to be most wearisome and useless, by reason of too much detail.

Book Description
This new volume proposes, in similar format but with recent photographs, illustrating the painting in their present state, the new edition of the book dedicated by Richard Offner in 1947 to the workshop of Bernardo Daddi, artist very much in demand in the first half of the 14th century. To some 70 pictures catalogued by Offner with entries which are now updated with new data on state and history as well as with bibliography, ten further, hitherto unpublished or little known items are given in this edition. The survey offered here makes the circle of Daddi, where several of chief figures of the Florentine painting in the second half of the Trecento were formed, one of the better known areas of the history of Italian painting of the Middle Age and early Renaissance.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
