Five hundred years later a remarkable exhibition and book celebrate this crucial turning point in civilization by examining the art and history f the principle cultures in Europe and the Mediterranean, eastern Asia, and the Americas. The book begins by looking at the Mediterranean world as the new seaborn empires were being formed, surveying the visual arts and principal intellectual and spiritual currents in major political centers from Portugal to Turkey to Africa. Next it takes the reader on Colombus' proposed route east to the fabled lands of Cathay, presenting essays about and illustrations of paintings, sculpture, calligraphy, and decorative art that document the venerable civilizations of the Far East. Finally, it surveys the great empires and chiefdoms of the Americas that the Europeans suddenly and unexpectedly encontered, fosusing on major works of Aztec sculpture, textiles from the Inka Empire, works in gold from Columbia and Costa Rica, and objects from the pre-Columbian cultures of North America.
