5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Guide To The Italian Renaissance!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2002
Back in my days as an Art History major, I realized early on that you really DID need to know about the history and the culture that gave birth to the art of the Italian Renaissance. Often, after a lecture, I would race home to try and find out more about a particular painter or family that supported an artist. This book gave me PLENTY of much need information. I got to know who the major players were, had artistic terms clarified, and got neat biographical information about everyone from Clement VI to Palladio. This delightful book also covered music, diplomacy, the role of the church, and literature. It also has hundreds of illustrations. Of special note was the section concerning the status of women. With over 750 entries, it is perfect for the student and the scholar.

The comprehensive nature of the information in this book is astounding. Every aspect of the Italian Renaissance is covered in 'bite-sized' pieces. Lots of useful information not only about the people and places but also the way of life at the time. Well worth purchasing.

can't wait to use this in next course, or perhaps on a trip to Rome or elsewhere in Italy. Extremely informative.
