When Philadelphia lawyer John G. Johnson began to collect art in the late 19th century, he made Italian paintings from the early Renaissance a specialty, and eventually donated his distinguished collection to the City of Philadelphia. Although there have been several books dedicated to these paintings, this catalog from Carl Brandon Strehlke, adjunct curator of the Johnson Collection, is the first complete scholarly examination, illustrated with 94 color plates and hundreds of black and white figures. Strehlke's discussion of such art historical questions as attribution, iconography, and patronage is complemented by the technical study of the paintings he conducted with Mark Tucker, the museum's senior conservator of paintings. All the paintings are furnished with a full description, technical report, provenance, art historical commentary, discussion of related works, and comparative illustrations, and the book also provides an appendix of punch marks and a bibliography of some 2500 entries.
