Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the works of Cennino Cennini, Filippo Villani, and Leon Battista Alberti as initiators of Italian Renaissance art history. They were the first to investigate speculative problems of art against the background of art history. In their critical works on ancient, medieval and Renaissance art, the principles of a historical approach to art can be traced. They also introduced into art criticism and history the art of ancient Greece and Rome, and assessed critically new trends in the development of art commenced in the 13th century.
