1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book will surprise and inspire you.By Allison ZitoThis is a great book. It reads like a wonderful adventure story but it is factual. The story begins with the events that lead to the onset of the Renaissance. a time of great human triumph. It shows us the human side of Filippo Brunelleschi. Young. up and coming goldsmith. Brunelleschi loses the competition for the Doors of the Florentine Baptistery. Defeat does not stop him. He goes on to become a larger than life Renaissance Architect accomplishing feats unimaginable at the time.This book is very well written. You will be surprised and inspired. I have read the book several times. Yes. it is that good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Renaissance Junkie Learns New ThingsBy Havana GirlI have been a Renaissance junkie and more particularly a Florence junkie since I lived there during graduate school. so I am sucker for anything about the Renaissance and Florence. I have read and studied about this era for years. taught it in my college classes in art history and humanities. and really picked up this book just to freshen up my knowledge for a guest lecture I was invited to give. It was compelling reading and I learned many new things. particularly about the lives of the two featured artists. Lorenzo Ghiberti (who knew this wasnt his real last name) and Filippo Brunelleschi (never realized he was stepping down a class to become an artist). The prose was lively and engaging. but grounded in good scholarship about the period. Before I read this book. Ross Kings Brunelleschis Dome was my favorite to recommend to my freshmen and sophomores. However. after reading this. it has shot to the top of my list for the wealth of historical detail it includes and for bringing this detail to life in recounting the feud that really did spark the Renaissance.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Satisfactory for the Renaissance ExpertsBy Mason OBrienThe Feud That Sparked the Renaissance is a book that is skillfully written and filled with specific information. That said I feel that the average person could purchase the book and feel that they could enter its world without a deep and preexisting knowledge of the renaissance.For the experts on the renaissance that feel as though they must soak up every available fact that pertains to it; this book is for you.For the rest of us that merely want an introduction to the subject. the search presses onward; this book is not for you. (unless you are particularly diligent).
