Gives modern viewers an illustrated key to unlock the mysteries of paintings, sculpture and architecture by the great Italian masters, and provides fresh insight into the currents of Renaissance thought, from humanism to myticism to religion reform.
We may never know what the Mona Lisa is really smiling about, but we do know that there's much ore to the masterpieces of Renaissance art than the beauty that meets the eye. There are layers of significance below the surface of Leonardo da Vinci, Fr Angelico, Donatello Michelangelo and many others. This magnificently illustrated guide by an expert art historian gives you the key to unlock those secrets for yourself.
Split into three parts, Part One is the vivid immersion in the culture of this remarkable period, tracing the profusion of innovations in literature, painting, sculpture and the decorative arts that date to this time. Part Two offers a wide-ranging guide to the essential elements of symbolic language in Renaissance art, including colour, geometry, light and shade, proportion, perspective and body language. In Part Three, the heart of the book, Richard Stemp analyzes more than 40 works grouped around a dozen themes, including Mythology, War and Peace, and Death and Eternity. Each work is shows in full colour and each is then taken apart to reveal the symbols it contains and to interpret their enigmatic meaning.
Richard Stemp studied Natural Sciences and History of Art a the University of Cambridge and has a Ph.D in Italian Renaissance sculpture. After a year at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, he now divides his time between art history and acting.
