Surreptitious messages, concealed myths, and historical truths lie
hidden in the great works of the Italian Renaissance, behind heavy
gold leaf and religious symbology. Although often obscured by the
archaic language of historical painting, careful analysis and
expert interpretation bring these images to life. Discover
masterpieces of the most beloved creative epoch in this fascinating
art historical inquiry. Images of war, romance, birth, and
knowledge, works of the Italian Renaissance have much to say, when
given a voice. Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen do just that-pulling
apart each of the 12 featured paintings with all the talent of true
detectives to offer an illuminating portal to the past. From
Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to Ucello's The Battle of San
Romano, from Antonello da Messina's St. Jerome in His Study to
Pinturicchio's Penelope with the Suitors, the artworks under
investigation are a diverse representation of the period's
innovation and brilliance, sourced directly from some of the most
impressive collections in the world, including the Uffizi, Prado,
and National Gallery London.
