This review is from: Pagan Mysteries In The Renaissance (Paperback)
Astounding scholarship. I am a non-academic with broad interests in art history, history, and art connoisseurship, and am fairly widely read in the history of the Rennaissance. The chapter on Botticelli's Primavera is one of the greatest pieces of art history criticism I have ever come across. For anyone who is interested in the meanings of paintings and their iconography, this book is a must. Also, I would recommend Jean Seznec's 'The Survival of the Pagan Gods" as a companion piece. As an aside, these works, especially the Wind, give further credence to Johan Huizenga's theories elaborated in "The Waning/Autumn of the Middle Ages".
