About
Regarded as artisans and craftsmen in the early fifteenth century, painters and sculptors acquired new status as 'artists' within little more than a hundred years. Francis Ames-Lewis explores how Mantegna, da Vinci, Raphael, Dürer, and others gained intellectual respect and artistic autonomy from enlightened patrons by promoting the idea of the artist as a creative genius with a distinct identity and individuality.
