Surreptitious messages, concealed myths, and historical truths lie hidden in the great works of the Italian Renaissance, behind heavy gold leaf and religious symbology. Although often obscured by the archaic language of historical painting, careful analysis and expert interpretation bring these images to life. Discover masterpieces of the most beloved creative epoch in this fascinating art historical inquiry. Images of war, romance, birth, and knowledge, works of the Italian Renaissance have much to say, when given a voice. Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen do just that--pulling apart each of the 12 featured paintings with all the talent of true detectives to offer an illuminating portal to the past. From Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam to Ucello's The Battle of San Romano, from Antonello da Messina's St. Jerome in His Study to Pinturicchio's Penelope with the Suitors, the artworks under investigation are a diverse representation of the period's innovation and brilliance, sourced directly from some of the most impressive collections in the world, including the Uffizi, Prado, and National Gallery London.… (plus d'informations)

4 to 5 pages of context for each choosen painting. Well writen, it gives you an idea of the paiting background, the history behind it and, using inserts por specific parts of the painting, calls your attention to details. I found the approach very interesting, a con I found is sometimes the quality of the printing isn't all that good (some blurred pages). Anyway, I do like it. ( )

[Beautiful Nudes] It had been a thousand years since anyone in Europe had seen the like of it: an almost life-sized nude, the representation of a naked woman, a picture of perfect corporeal grace—Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love, whom the Romans called Venus, reborn in Renaissance Florence.
[Faces of Power] Whether we want to or not, we have to look up to Theodora.
[What Great Paintings Say, Volume 1 (2000)] In 1025, at the Council of Arras in northern France, the clergy decided to embellish their churches with decorations of a new type.

[Beautiful Nudes] The disease afflicting Manet was one which art historians even today prefer not to mention—still offending as it does our middle-class sense of decency: on 30 April 1883 Manet died of the consequences of syphilis.
[Faces of Power] Whatever the reason, he purchased the painting—now in the State Russian Museum, St Petersburg—there and then, paying the handsome sum of 35,000 rubles: apparently, the highest sum hitherto paid to a Russian artist for a single work.
[What Great Paintings Say, Volume 1 (2000)] Rivera renders this unity visible in his Alameda Dream—a dream which contains more than simply an itemized history of his country.
