Boskovits, Miklos: A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting. Mediaeval Panel Painting in Tuscany. 12th to 13th century. A Supplement. Giunti, 2021. 799 pages, fully illustrated in colour. Hardback. 31 x 24cms. The Mediaeval Panel Painting in Tuscany is the catalogue raisonné of twelfth and thirteenth century Tuscan paintings. The project's goal was to draw up a complete index of Italian panel paintings from the origins to the end of the thirteenth century. The book consists of five parts. The first, dedicated to twelfth-century panel paintings, examines the earliest works from Tuscany as a whole since it is not possible to pinpoint variations among local schools in those years. It is only starting from the thirteenth century that Boskovits could begin to trace the developments of figurative language in Tuscany's main cities, from Lucca to Pisa. The book then focuses on thirteenth-century Sienese painting, reconstructing the career of the Master of Tressa, through to the works of Duccio di Buoninsegna up to year 1300, omitting those paintings that by then were in dialogue with Giotto's innovations. The last part is dedicated to paintings from the Arezzo area, focusing largely on the career of Margarito d'Arezzo.
