Artists and Warfare in the Renaissance

by J.R. Hale

Hale deploys an unprecedentedly rich corpus of images, many of supreme quality, which reflect the ways in which artists, often independently of patrons, responded to the facts of war, to violence and death, to battles and sieges, to ideas about its nature and causes, and, above all, to the men who made war possible, the common infantry soldiers.
