A History of the Art of Florence: City and Myth. The Renaissance in Italy
69.99 €
Drawing on compelling 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 Florence in the 15th and early 16th centuries. He challenges conventional wisdom, our knowledge and stereotypes, asking new and unusual questions, and exploring what has been considered unimportant or simply overlooked. A fresh look at the city and its art allows for the opportunity to place both undisputed masterpieces and lesser-known works within a broader cultural context. Scott Nethersole helps readers consider a variety of art forms and artists together: from painting, sculpture, and architecture to printmaking and illuminated manuscripts, from Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli, and Brunelleschi to unknown masters—in connections and influences that seem unexpected yet desperately reminiscent of the flow of life. A captivating story about an inexhaustible culture that continues to answer questions about ourselves.
