The Renaissance was probably the most influential and fertile
period of European cultural history. We are all familiar with the
giants of High Renaissance art - Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael -
but how much do you really know about how it all started and why it
was so revolutionary? This easily accessible, fresh and beautiful
introduction to this wonderful world takes you from the stirrings
of a revival in classical learning and humanist thought in late
medieval Italy through the application of technical developments in
painting and scientific knowledge, to the blossoming of astounding
artworks that we all know and love, reaching its peak in the
sixteenth century. A digestible introduction to the background and
history of the Renaissance is followed by a gallery of treasured
works focusing on the most popular Italian art, from Giotto's
frescoes and Fra Angelico's delightful Annunciation, to
Botticelli's willowy Venuses, that ceiling of Michelangelo's and
the master of Venetian painting, Titian.
