Renaissance Art: A Very Short Introduction - G. Johnson
Artists like Botticelli, Holbein, Leonardo, D�rer, and Michelangelo and works such as the Last Supper fresco and the monumental marble statue of David, are familiar symbols of the Renaissance. Was the Renaissance only about great masters and masterpieces, or were women artists and patrons also involved? But who were these artists, why did they produce such memorable images, and how would their original beholders have viewed these objects?
This Very Short Introduction answers such questions by considering both famous and lesser-known artists, patrons, and works of art within the cultural and historical context of Renaissance Europe. And what about the minor pieces that Renaissance men and women would have encountered in homes, churches and civic spaces? The volume provides a broad cultural and historical context for some of the Renaissance's most famous artists and works of art.
