A gloriously illustrated, highly readable account of the history and culture of the Renaissance from its origins in Italy to its spread through Europe and beyond. Text by leading scholars covers intellectual, artistic and political developments. 42 specially drawn color maps place the Renaissance within a broad historical context. More than 250 illustrations depict topics and places of key interest .~ The world of the Renaissance ~ the name we give to the unprecedented flowering of art and science in western Europe from about 1300 to 1600 ~ is at once familiar and remote. Many of its greatest artists and thinkers are renowned, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli and Erasmus. However the social, political and intellectual environment from which they sprang is sometimes less easy to grasp. The Cultural Atlas of the Renaissance ~ the latest volume in this highly acclaimed series ~ offers an exciting new way of understanding the many facts of Renaissance culture, as well as its spread across Europe. Part One examines when and why the Renaissance began in medieval Italy. Particular attention is focused on the cultural traditions of the time, the nature of civic life in the peninsula and the ways in which its patriotic identity was expressed. Special features concentrate on the work of the great Italian artists and some of the main centers of Renaissance achievement, such as Florence and Rome. The growth of the Renaissance beyond the Alps is the subject of Part Two. The conduits of Renaissance culture are examined, in particular the trading contacts between Venice and their neighbors to the north. The surge in exploration and improvements in printing are two important themes, as are the beginnings of religious dissent and the emergence of modern scientific ideas. Later chapters describe the spread of the Renaissance in individual regions of Europe. The Low Countries, the Holy Roman Empire and the East are examined, followed by France, Spain, England and Scotland. Special features focus on key themes that shaped Renaissance culture in the area, as well as the chief sites of Renaissance activity. Throughout the book, the readable, authoritative, text is complemented by original color maps and breathtaking photographs and reproductions that display the treasures of the age in all its glory. A chronology, glossary, gazetteer and index enhance the reference value of this unique volume.…
