Andrew Martindale’s collection of essays study secular painting history in medieval and early Renaissance Italy, emphasising evidence for secular decoration in Venice, Siena and Mantua, shedding light on a lesser-explored facet of early Italian art.


These eight papers by Professor Martindale represent his major studies on the history of secular painting in medieval and early Renaissance Italy. Written over fifteen years, they focus attention on the evidence for secular decoration in this period. Covering Venice, Siena, and Mantegna’s work in Mantua, this represents an important and often neglected aspect of early Italian art.
