In this extraordinary explication of one of the most enigmatic and influential works of the Renaissance, the Uffizi "Circumcision of Christ, " Jack M. Greenstein reassesses the nature and goals of high humanist narrative painting.
"Greenstein has raised the level of sophistication of the historical criticism of Renaissance painting by at least one whole notch; at the same time, he has written a book for everyone interested in problems of interpretation."--David Summers, University of Virginia
