Reviews

This is a book for those who have fallen in love with Renaissance art and would like to deepen that relationship. It offers a refreshingly different approach to well-traveled territories, challenging conventional wisdom and, instead, observing carefully what the paintings and statues are actually showing us. After taking Sam Hilt's tour of Florence's fifteenth 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. - John Gouldthorpe
