| Summary: | Although the Chapel of the Cardinal of Portugal has been long appreciated as an important realization of the artistic ideals of the early Renaissance, this present volume is the first monograph to deal exclusively with its works of art, its history, and its meaning. The basis for this study is the discovery by Dr. Gino Corti of a large and extremely important group of hitherto unknown documents in the ledgers of the Cambini bank in Florence. This material pertains directly to the construction and decoration of the Chapel, and provides information long sought by scholars interested in the building and the artists who combined their talents to create it. / |
