An Excellent Reference Book for the Renaissance Period

For those of you who like to read historical fiction or non fiction likeThe Prince orThe Passion of Artemesia, this Eyewitness book gives you all the background information you need to enjoy your reading on a much deeper level.It makes the period and its people come alive. The Eyewitness series is beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched. It combines extensive art history with politics and all of the important movements of the time period. I cannot recommend this book too highly-you will find your self using it over and over.

Great book, terrific value!

This high quality, hardcover art history book discusses various aspects of the northern and Italian Renaissance. It features countless reproductions of paintings, drawings, and sculptures by virtually every Renaissance artist you can imagine. Also included are interesting historical information and little-known facts about some of the best-known works of art. Suitable for use in study by art teachers and art enthusiasts alike. Looking through this book is like walking through several Italian and French art galleries! Exceptional value!
