This two-volume publication is an in-depth treatment of the small private study, the Gubbio studiolo, the masterpiece of Italian Renaissance woodwork and perspectival inlay that was reinstalled in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1996. This private study is valued not only for its perspectival inlay but also for its rich historical associations and, of course, its beauty.
In the first volume, Olga Raggio focuses on the creation of the studiolo, Gubbio's political history and development, the achievements of Federico da Montefeltro and his role in the creation of the studiolo. Martin Kemp examines the perspectival system. The second volume, by Antoine M. Wilmering, discusses the conservation of the studiolo and the history, materials, and techniques of intarsia work. Bibliography and index in both volumes.
