ART OF RENAISSANCE FLORENCE (HB)

This book examines Early and High Renaissance, a remarkable period of cultural, artistic and intellectual blossoming in Florence from 1400 to 1520. Author Scott Nethersole looks at the city and its art with fresh eyes, presenting the well-known within a wider context of cultural reference. Key works of art – from painting, sculpture and architecture to illuminated manuscripts – by artists such as Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli and Brunelleschi are showcased alongside the unexpected and less familiar.
