Krátky popis
A new narrative history of the Renaissance that takes in the whole
of Europe and its global context, written by one of the UK’s
foremost art critics. What was the 'Renaissance'? In the nineteenth
century this flowering of creativity and thought was celebrated as
the birth of the modern world. Today many historians are sceptical
about its very existence.Earthly Delights rekindles the Renaissance
as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history
that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists
from northern as well as southern Europe, including Leonardo,
Bosch, Bruegel and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully
illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of
convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it
â€~discovered’ the world. Art critic and writer Jonathan Jones
tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and
â€~geniuses’, a Renaissance concept.Albrecht DA1rer gazes with
wonder on Aztec art in Brussels in 1520, Leonardo da Vinci tries to
perfect a flying machine, Hieronymus Bosch finds inspiration in
West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp.
A then unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in
1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to
raise the new St Peter’s Basilica towards heaven. From Atlantic
voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of
Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the
occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.
