"The Roman author Pliny tells the story -- well known in the Renaissance -- of famed Grecian painter Apelles hiding behind one of his pictures to overhear comments of viewers. Martin Kemp takes this motif as an effective point of entry into the problem of what lies behind e business of picture-making in the Renaissance, in particular the role of the artist and the function of works of art in relation to this various kinds of audience. ... [He also] provides an introductory text on Italian Renaissance art that brings the period alive through extensive quotations from original sources." (dj).
