THE MOST VIVID PHOTOGRAPHY AND WRITING EVER PUBLISHED ON THE RENAISSANCE AND BEYOND
If you are thirsting for the stories behind art and
architecture in the cradle of the Renaissance, read the excellent essays by the
dream team of art critics assembled for this book.
You will learn a great deal about the painted, sculpted,
frescoed and otherwise ornamented Florence -- much of it by the patronage or
force of will of the Medici family.
And though Florence will always be known for the
Renaissance, the Art and Architecture publication sets the scene by first
exploring Medieval Florence and Gothic styles leading up to the Renaissance.
The book triumphs most when its large format allows the
armchair art historian to enter a magical world of heighten knowledge through
detail shots.
