Alison Cole, Renaissance scholar and editor-in-chief of Britain's The Art Newspaper, talks about an era when high art and power merged in a whimsical symbiosis. The five powerful families of Italy, who ruled the city-states of Naples, Urbino, Ferrara, Mantua and Milan in the XNUMXth century, used patronage of the arts as a tool to increase their power and strengthen their authority in competition 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. Based on the latest research, Alison Cole paints a vivid picture of the complex relationship between artists and rulers and shows the art of the Renaissance in an unusual perspective.
