A brief but remakably informative & well-illustrated guide to the Renaissance in 'southern Europe' - with a cursory nod to the 'northern', maritime & landscape artists, sculptors, & architects excluding England, naturally! - & a remarkable excursion into Spanish artists I'd never even heard of!
But the writer is Spanish & proud of his alternative, over-looked 'geniuses'...as Spain struggled with a wider world than the wealthy Mediterranean vortex, a world that would soon include a foggy, rainy, windswept island off the north coast of Europe, full of toothless, drunken peasants & heretical Protestants who didn't believe in religious idolatry & relics but in the common people. It was called England & they spoke a drunken, rough-tongued language full of Anglo-Saxon expletives aimed at the smug, wine-rich, silken-clad, money-orientated(!) merchants of latinised Catholic Europe.
End of another ******* diatribe!

A great introduction guide for any scholar of Renaissance art.
