An extremely important book, one likely to become the most influential recent study of art of this period, The Place of Narrative is also a beautiful artifact."--David Carrier, Leonardo * * "Covering over a millennium and dealing with the whole of Italy, Lavin makes pioneering use of new methodology employing a computer database...[and] novel terminology to describe the disposition of scenes of church and chapel walls....We should recognize this as a book of high seriousness which reaches out into new areas and which will fruitfully stimulate much thought on a neglected subject of very considerable significance."--Julian Gardner, Burlington Magazine--TABLE OF CONTENTS: List of Illustrations * Acknowledgments * Introduction: The Place of Narrative * 1: Medieval Protocols * 2: The Cycle in the Private Chapel, 1300-1350 * 3: Narrative in the Public Domain, 1340-1400 * 4: Nationalism and the Festival Mode: The Legend of the True Cross * 5: Tradition and the New Synthesis in the Early Fifteenth Century * 6: Disposition as a Theopolitical Tool: Fra Filippo, Mantegna, Piero della Francesca * 7: Consolidation of Tradition: The Sistine Chapel and Beyond * 8: The Expanded Field and Its Narrative Implications * 9: New Continuities: Narrative Disposition in the Sixteenth Century * The Computer Database: NARRART DATA * Appendix 1: Selected Cycle Entries * Appendix 2: List of Cycles by Patterns of Disposition * Notes * Bibliography * Photographic Credits--with a bonus offer--
