Description
Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction by Geraldine A Johnson provides a broad cultural and historical context for some of the Renaissance's most famous artists and works of art. This introduction explores both famous and lesser-known artists, patrons, and works of art within the cultural and historical context of Renaissance Europe. The book considers the production of art in both Northern and Southern Europe, introducing readers to various approaches to studying Renaissance art, from social history to formal analysis. It also delves into forgotten aspects of Renaissance art, such as objects made for the home and women's roles as artists and patrons. By examining the cultural and historical context of Renaissance art, this Very Short Introduction offers a nuanced understanding of the period's most iconic works and figures, including those who may have been overlooked in traditional accounts.
