An innovative visual history of rivalry between artists across the centuries

This volume probes the relationship between art and competition from antiquity to the early modern era. In Western antiquity, practices of imitation and competition were thought to enhance creativity; in the Renaissance, Leonardo believed that good envy spurred excellence. Some of the most famous works of antiquity and the later Renaissance and Baroque periods were born of fierce competition.
