Summary: "A History of Italian Painting" by Frank Jewett Mather is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a guide for beginners seeking to understand Italian painting, particularly from the Renaissance period. Mather aims to discuss the evolution of painting in Italy, focusing on key artists and artistic movements while providing a foundation for those new to the subject. The opening of the text establishes its purpose and target audience, indicating that it emerged from a series of lectures aimed at art novices. Mather emphasizes the importance of introducing the reader to significant phases of Italian painting by simplifying complex topics, avoiding intricate debates, and providing credible visual examples. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of artists like Giotto, while also giving a broader context about Florence as a crucial hub of artistic innovation during the Renaissance. The chapter previews discussions of the relationship between artistic technique and emotional expression in the context of the evolving humanist ideals of the time.
