The Renaissance era was launched in Italy and gradually spread to
the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, France, and other parts of Europe
and the New World, with figures like Robert Campin, Jan van Eyck,
Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Durer, and Albrecht Altdorfer. It
was the era that produced some of the icons of civilization,
including Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Last Supper and
Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling, Pieta, and David. Marked as one of
the greatest moments in history, the outburst of creativity of the
era resulted in the most influential artistic revolution ever to
have taken place. The period produced a substantial number of
notable masters, among them Caravaggio, Donato Bramante, Donatello,
El Greco, Filippo Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Sandro Botticelli,
Raphael, Titian, and Tintoretto. The result was an outstanding
number of exceptional works of art and architecture that pushed
human potential to new heights. The A to Z of Renaissance Art
covers the years 1250 to 1648, the period most disciplines place as
the Renaissance Era. A complete portrait of this remarkable period
is depicted in this book through a chronology, an introductory
essay, a bibliography, and over 500 hundred cross-referenced
dictionary entries on major Renaissance painters, sculptors,
architects, and patrons, as well as relevant historical figures and
events, the foremost artistic centers, schools and periods, major
themes and subjects, noteworthy commissions, technical processes,
theoretical material, literary and philosophic sources for art, and
art historical terminology."
