Η Αναγέννηση στη Φλωρεντία: Η γένεση μιας νέας τέχνης
Ο Richard Turner εξερευνά την τέχνη της Φλωρεντίας στο πλαίσιο της εντυπωσιακής προσωπικότητας της ίδιας της πόλης. Η Φλωρεντία ως ένας τόπος με μοναδική και ιδιαίτερη πολιτική, κοινωνική και φυσική παρουσία έκανε την τέχνη της διαφορετική. Ο Τurner, κινούμενος χρονολογικά και θεματικά, προχωρά σε μια επισκόπηση της ιστορίας της πόλης, των τελετών της, των ισχυρών πατρώνων της, των εντάσεων και αντιπαραθέσεων, της ρωμαϊκής κληρονομιάς της και πάνω από όλα της εξαιρετικής αντίληψής της για τον ίδιο της τον εαυτό. Διαπλέκοντας με περισσή γνώση την αναλυτική μελέτη μεμονωμένων έργων τέχνης με ευρύτερα πολιτισμικά θέματα φιλοτεχνεί ολοζώντανο το πορτραίτο ενός σπουδαίου τόπου σε μια κορυφαία στιγμή.

had to read this for a class, and i found it very easy to comprehend, the information is simply given (unlike many academic books). the little anecdotes throughout the book make it a very enjoyable read, even for people who don't study this imo

An excellent, brief, intelligent, and highly readable introduction to Renaissance Art, in its Florentine aspect.

Περιεκτικό, ευανάγνωστο και ευχάριστο, σε βάζει στην ζωή και σκέψη των Φλωρεντινών της εποχής, εξηγώντας τις πιθανές αιτίες διαμόρφωσης της τέχνης της.

April 21, 2012Read in preparation for our trip. While this is probably a text used in classrooms, it is mostly accessible and kept my attention much of the time. This is probably the first art history book I've read since high school. It's so much more fascinating when you are on the brink of actually seeing these great works.

An outstanding look at art and it's development through the Renaissance. Super informative and easy to read.
