Explaining Florence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Renaissance Florence: The Invention of A New Art (Trade Version) (Perspectives) (Paperback)
As an art lover and architect, who has been reading extensivelly about Italy and spent three weeks exploring the city, I define this book as comprehensive, delicious to read and excellent in contents. Turner explains how the city has achieved such a moment in human civilization, not only by its art, but by its economics, technology, geography, historic context, social behavior. This book is one to fall in love with, and I would put it as a must read together with Kenneth Clark's Civilization.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Renaissance Florence: The Invention of A New Art (Trade Version) (Perspectives) (Paperback)
The book is very well done. The photographs are of high quality; the coverage complete. I purchased the volume as background information for an art history survey course I'm enrolled in (I already hold a post-grad degree), and found it to be an excellent supplement to the cursory review my textbook offered.
