Description
The Renaissance of the 14th–16th centuries was and will always be one of the most important periods in the development of Western art. Its roots spread widely and deeply, and many social and intellectual revivals began before this venerable era, but renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman texts and the development of expanding trade, which brought greater wealth, made classical and humanist thought combined with generous patronage lead to major breakthroughs in all areas of human activity – art, architecture, music, literature, science, philosophy, and more. Although it spread across Europe, Italy was to be its melting pot.
In 2020, we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Raphael's death, one of the stars of the Renaissance. This rich book celebrates the prolific achievements of this era. From the radical perspective of Giotto di Bondone (1267–1337), breaking free from the Middle Ages, to the giants of High Renaissance: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, among many others, readers will be captivated by fascinating insights accompanied by lush reproductions.
