L'arte del Rinascimento in Italia: Una nuova storia (0)

Trama

A New History of Italian Renaissance Art presents the classic canon of Renaissance painting and sculpture in full, while expanding the scope of conventional surveys by offering a more thorough coverage of architecture, decorative and domestic arts, and print media.

Rather than emphasizing artists’ biographies, this new account concentrates on the works, discussing the means of production; the places for which images were made; the concerns of patrons; and the expectations and responses of the works’ first viewers.

Renaissance art is seen as decidedly new, a moment in the history of art whose concerns still persist.
