The Renaissance of Imagination

"This is a book for those who have fallen in love with Renaissance art and would like to deepen that relationship. It's not a superficial guidebook, and it's not a tedious art history text. It bypasses both the superficial clichés and the pedantic arguments and looks carefully at what the paintings and statues are actually showing us. After taking Sam Hilt's tour of Florence's 15th century, you'll never look at its artistic masterpieces in the same way. You might even feel that you've seen them for the first time."
