This book demonstrates that the status of the artist from being anonymous artisan-craftsmen to becoming an individual with a special quasi-divine gift was in the process of change in the Middle Ages and by the time of Giotto and Simone Martini, a successful artist was often a prominent member of society.

The author traces the changing attitudes towards art and artists during the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance from 1300 to 1450.

A chapter is devoted to each position of the artist: in town and country, in the court, in the cloister, as architect, and finally in the Renaissance.
