The "virtue," or genius, of the artist and the "magnificence" of the ruler are two defining qualities of the Renaissance. Around these concepts, Cole has built a remarkable new vision of Italian Renaissance art and culture, telling the stories of Florence, Venice, and Rome, as well as those of lesser-known cities of the time, including Naples and Milan. 113 illustrations, 96 in color.
