It is a rich chronological survey of the splendour and wealth of Renaissance art from the end of the Gothic period to the beginning of the Baroque period (1401-1610). In addition to all the superb paintings this book also features the best in sculpture and architecture during this period.
Superbly designed and illustrated with more than 500 colour illustrations, many of them large-scale reproductions, The Renaissance is a truly sumptuous book that will appeal to everyone interested in this popular period of painting.
