I'm looking for books on art history that can range from anywhere between the Early Renaissance to 19th century Academicism. I'm interested in what apprenticeships and ateliers were like, so if there are any books that cover the lives and surroundings of painters instead of just the art movements, I would love to read them.
Also – not mandatory, but I'd love to read a book that also covers queer artists in this timeframe! Most of what I found for queer artists was post-19th century and I'm not looking for that at the moment.
