This monumental work, Drawings of Florentine Painters by Bernard Berenson, was named in 2013 by Thames & Hudson as one of the "books that shaped art history." Originally published in 1938, and significantly revised and enlarged by the author in several subsequent editions, the 1970 publication by the University of Chicago Press consists of three volumes. Some of the Florentine artists covered in the three volumes are: da Vinci, Michelangelo, Albertinelli, Angelico, Gozzoli, Uccello, Botticelli, Lippi, Garbo, Carli, di Cosimo, Bartolommeo, Falconi, Cungi, Pontormo, Rosso, Manfredi, Rosselli, and Artetino. While Berenson published other works in his lifetime, Drawings of Florentine Painters is considered his masterpiece.
