Description

The Renaissance in Italy: A History by Kenneth R. Bartlett and Gillian C. Bartlett explores the lives and works of the artists, patrons, and intellectuals who created a rarefied world of power, money, and sophisticated talent in 15th-century Italy. This dynamic history delves into the driving principles behind Western civilization, shedding light on how individual curiosity and skill were prized above all else. The result is a highly readable account of the Renaissance in Italy, copiously illustrated with insights into the artists who gave birth to some of the most enduring ideas and artifacts of Western civilization. By examining the privileged elites who shaped this period, Bartlett provides a nuanced understanding of how the Italian Renaissance emerged as a pivotal moment in European history.
