The Renaissance burst forth in all its glory around 1500 and spread throughout Europe. This period of great creativity and productivity in the arts and sciences is illuminated in this book through the lives of more than ninety of its illustrious intellectuals, artists, literary figures, scientists, and rulers. Included are such major figures as Lorenzo and Catherine de’ Medici, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles V, Luther, Columbus, Copernicus, and St. Teresa of Ávila, as well as lesser-known characters such as Antonio Rinaldeschi, “gambler and blasphemer”; Louise Labé, “the jousting poetess”; Dick Tarlton, “the queen’s comedian”; Veronica Franco, “courtesan and wordsmith”; and Catena, “rustler, robber, and bandit chief.”
Each section in this volume marks a chronological stage in Europe’s rebirth, tying the period’s intellectual currents to its political and social concerns and setting the context for the individual biographies.

评分文艺复兴这个词来源于法语,意思是重生。它始于君士坦丁堡的沦陷,文艺复兴时期几乎每个人都逃不开战争,在这个社会动荡、混乱,生活痛苦的时代,却是精神史上极自由、极解放,最富于智慧、最浓于热情的一个时代。因此也就是最富有艺术精神的一个时代。这时社会秩序陷入大崩溃,...
评分说到文艺复兴,你会想到什么?想到达·芬奇、米开朗琪罗、拉·斐尔,是这些人的艺术成就铸就了那个时代的辉煌;还会想到美第齐家族,那个庞大的家族体系所拥有的权力和财富是今人无法想象也无法企及的;或者你会想到哥白尼,那个为了自己的信念而舍身的英雄或许是那个时代里最...
