Perhaps no other era in art history has been more influential than the Renaissance-the achievements of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bellini, Titian, and El Greco (among others) have inspired the world for nearly 500 years.
This new addition to the Masters of Art series presents the Renaissance in colorful, double-page spreads with over 220 illustrations of the paintings, sculpture, people, and architecture of the era.
Informative text describes symbolism, gives a brief historical background, and presents facts about the lives of the artists. A timechart, a thorough index, and a section on Vasari and historiography, complete this masterfully designed survey of Europe's glorious Renaissance.
