[David Bisset · Rating 5 out of 5]

A particularly interesting study of the Renaissance in all its variety. The !and add a unique dimension regarding diffusion, and the text is terse but scholarly. Excellent illustrations.

Perfect for a first time Renaissance insight for it considers the embodiment of the movement, which began much earlier with a gradual change of thought, in the 12th century (if not before) reaching its peak in the 16th century. It outlines what was the movement not only in Italy but in other European countries, such as Germany, France, Spain and England, with their own distinctive nuances. It also considers, apart from painting, architecture and literature, and has a great selection of figures.
