This book is far and above what I had expected. Emphasis was placed on being user friendly, which is paramount with such a heavy topic. Side bars on the inner political, religious, and general public life help to clarify what influenced the artist in making choices of subject, style, and composition. I now have a clearer understanding of why I paint how I do, and why we as a culture critique art the way we do.

Bought this book for an art history class. It actually was a really nice book. Well written, beautiful color images. I kept the book even after the class ended.

Fantastic book! In fantastic condition! Got it much cheaper than daughter could have gotten it at school bookstore!

this product has been excellent for class. good reading in and out of the bathroom. if you need to or have a hankering to learn about Renaissance Italy Art and Architecture please check this out. the book i bought from a seller on amazon was less than half of the new textbook at my university bookstore and the textbook corner. as far as price goes i was extremely happy and the shipping wasn't too bad either. the used textbooks i have bought from amazon have been great.

I lived in Italy for over a year and this was the primary text book for my renaissance art history class. It was a wonderful book with pictures and so much information, I had to purchase it for myself.

The turn around for this purchase was very quick. Our daughter took it to Italy for one of her studies abroad classes.

I needed this book for my college Ren. Art class and our bookstore wasn't getting it in on time. PLUS they were ONLY selling it for $80.00!! I have always had wonderful results with amazon and trust their speedy delivery.
The books information is extremely indepth with wonderful colored pictures to go along with our professors lectures. I've developed a desire to see Florence and the Or San Michele there. If someone were to ask me about it 2 months ago, i would have asked them to repeat themselves. But indepth on monuments, paintings, cities and regions all over the country and throughout the 12th- 16th centuries.
