Edited by Daphne Barbour and Suzanne Quillen Lomax

Volume 2 of the Gallery's biennial journal Facture, presents great works of art in new contexts. Examining the art of two very different eras—the Italian Renaissance and the 20th century—the essays in this volume share a common approach. Essays start with meticulous material and analytical study of works of art, then place the findings in a broader historic context, providing new perspectives on well-known works.
