It gives the essential information about the leading Renaissance artists and scholars and their works. But though the Renaissance is synonymous with learning and the arts, these did not occur in isolation. This book also shows how social trends and individual political figures influenced the period's culture.".

"The text is supplemented by illustrations throughout, and a colour Picture Gallery guides the reader through some of the most important paintings, sculpture, and architecture of the period. Maps, genealogies, bibliographies, lists, and chronologies add further depth to the text."--BOOK JACKET.
