A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting
he Corpus (the complete work will be 30 volumes) is a basic instrument for art historical research and offers the most complete scientific information and the richest photographic documentation ever achieved on Florentine painting of the pre-Renaissance period.
Each volume contains a historical and critical study on an artist, or group of artists, with a complete and illustrated catalogue of their works and the documentation referring to them.
Begun by Richard Offner in 1930, and continued by Klara Steinweg, the project was later entrusted by the Fine Arts Institute of New York University to Miklós Boskovits, and all the material put together by Offner was transferred to the History of Art Institute of Florence University.
Each volume is cloth bound (size 245 x 318 mm) printed on coated ivory paper with coloured dust jackets.
