Description
The Princes of the Renaissance brings to life the fascinating world of 15th- and 16th-century Italy, where powerful families ruled and patronized the arts. Through their lives, Mary Hollingsworth reveals the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that shaped the culture of the time. The princes of this era were inspired by the humanists and immersed themselves in the culture of antiquity, commissioning grand buildings and offering patronage to artists and writers. However, their lives were also dominated by the waging of war, which often threatened to disrupt the delicate balance of power and artistic achievement. This meticulously researched narrative provides a rigorous and accessible exploration of the princes' aesthetic achievements, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous politics of a period of great change.
