From the dustjacket: "...[P]resents an appropriate survey of one of the most unusual and fascinating events in the whole history of art: the rise and development for more than three centuries of an exceptionally fertile pictorial tradition - a tradition of extraordinary homogeneity within the culture and taste of a city that was never a large, political power or a flourishing center of industry or commerce."
