Alison Cole, Renaissance scholar and editor-in-chief of Britain's The Art Newspaper, recounts an era when high art and power merged in a bizarre symbiosis. The five powerful families of Italy, who ruled the 15th-century city-states of Naples, Urbino, Ferrara, Mantua, and Milan, used patronage of the arts as a tool for enhancing power and authority in their rivalry with each other and with other European powers. Italian geniuses - from Mantegna and Pisanello to Bramante and Leonardo da Vinci - created a unique "court" style for their patrons. Drawing on the latest research, Alison Cole paints a vivid picture of the complex relationship between artists and rulers and shows Renaissance art from an unusual perspective.
