Inhaltsangabe

The society that produced the glories of Renaisance art was a multi-faceted one. On the one hand it produced the tender work of Giotto and the brilliance of Leonardo; on the other it encompassed the cynicism of the Borgias, the fanaticism of Savonarola and the icy pragmatism of Machiavelli. Civil disorder, political violence, religious discord and deep-seated corruption provided a setting in which genius flowered and where virtuosity, originality and explosive energy shone through in politics, in art, in thought and even in murder. In this vivid survey the whole sweep of Renaissance achievement is brilliantly portrayed and analysed by Professor Sir John Plumb, assisted by a distinguished team of historians.
