Fabulous book, I’m headed to Florence and 15 days and I’m really glad for this background

Fabulous book, I’m headed to Florence and 15 days and I’m really glad for this background. I wish there were more art history books on audible. With the availability of images from so many different sources it’s really nice to be able to be working in the studio listening to the stories and then look up specific works during a break then back to the story. I’m really grateful for this audiobook.

Detailed history of the early Italian Renaissance

This is a very well researched and cogently presented discussion of the artistic gifts and accomplishments of Brunelleschi and Ghiberti, their rivalry and their influence on later generations of artists. The argument that their feud sparked the Renaissance, however, is weak. The evidence presented seems to make the case that it was their visions and abilities and their willingness to incorporate Classical, as well as other, traditions that sparked the artistic Renaissance.
