Excellent book, I absolutely loved it!
It Reminded me of my art lessons at school with my beloved art teacher. Those lessons basically changed my life.
Looking back at my teenage years, I now find it a miracle that a teacher came to a small desert town to influence young students with art passion and enthusiasm. I mean, what are the chances?
Well, this book brought me back to those fascinating lectures about the renaissance. It’s written clearly, it’s educational, it's original and it’s not popularizing the renaissance but actually offers a deeper look into the art and artists of the time, with a great lesson from each time and person. I’ve learned many new things and it did some order in my understanding of the chronology of the times and artist.
Of course, this book is specifically made for renaissance art lovers and students. It’s not meant for the casual reader or one who just tries to grasp the overall subject.
The bright point about that is that it doesn’t need to be apologetic. It’s just a more serious debate about Renaissance art than most of these books that try to sum it up in Michelangelo and da Vince. In these books, you’ll get to know a little better about other major artists of that time.
