This book presents the entire epoch of the Renaissance through a collection of images, offering all the tools anyone needs to explore this age of reawakening, invention, and achievement.
More than 1,000 illustrations - of paintings, sculpture, architecture, drawings, and engravings - are grouped to present more than a hundred pertinent topics. The topics themselves are divided among eight major themes covering every aspect of intellectual, political, religious, economic, social, technological, artistic, and architectural life in the Renaissance, all extensively cross-referenced.
