The Renaissance period was one of the most exciting and innovative in Western art, and has never failed to stimulate the imagination with its remarkable wealth of talent.
In this comprehensive and stimulating study, the first of its kind and scope, Charles McCorquodale presents a panorama of the whole period in painting, covering the major European countries affected by new ideas. The broad view of the Renaissance period is one of the book's major strengths, making it a unique survey of an immense range of schools, movements and artists.
