Drawing on vivid historical evidence, Scott Nethersole, a specialist in the history of Italian Renaissance art at the Courtauld Institute in London, explores the period of extraordinary cultural, artistic, and intellectual flourishing that occurred in fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Florence. The author allows himself to question the conventional, our knowledge and stereotypes, to ask new and unusual questions and to talk about things that were considered unimportant or simply did not attract attention. A fresh look at the city and its art provides an opportunity to present undisputed masterpieces and lesser-known works in a broader cultural context. Scott Nethersole helps the reader consider together different art forms and artists-from painting, sculpture, and architecture to printed graphics and illuminated manuscripts, from Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli, and Brunelleschi to unknown masters-in interrelationships and mutual influences that seem unexpected but desperately evocative of the flow of life. A fascinating account of an inexhaustible culture that continues to answer questions about ourselves.
