"The album of Jacopo Bellini, now located in the Louvre, is one of the outstanding legacies of the Venetian Renaissance to have survived to the modern day. The majestic drawings constitute a seminal collection of the artist's pivotal contributions to the formation of an indigenous Venetian Renaissance style of the mid-fifteenth century.

"The complete album presented here for the first time, in full color, reproduced to scale and in the order the authors believe the artist himself determined. The pioneering study of Professors Bernhard Degenhart and Annegrit Schmitt finally allow us to appreciate the full meaning and enormous importance of Jacopo Bellini's disegno in the Renaissance."
