This volume throws new light on three of the giants of the Italian High Renaissance: Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564); Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519); and Rafael (1483-1520). The result of a symposium of more than a hundred scholars held during Georgetown Universitys summer program at Villa Le Balze in Fielsole; Italy; these critiques by four of the scholars center on the brief period from 1500 to 1508 when all three artists were working in Florence. The symposium was moderated by art historian Sir John Pope-Hennessey.Accompanied by forty-five illustrations; these papers stand as a solid contribution to Renaissance studies. The full color cover has Da Vincis Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and a Lamb; courtesy of the Louvre.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. history comes aliveBy Johanna EppersonI liked the way the authors told about the various communities in Delta County and showed how the people lived. I and all of my siblings were born in Delta County and I have a brother who died at 6 months old in 1936 and is buried in Rattan Cemetery in Delta County. My roots run deep there as I have a grandmother and four great grandparents buried there along with many other relatives. It was very interesting to see the pictures of scenes they saw when they were living.The authors did a very good job of taking us back to the days of yesterday and immersing the reader in that time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
