The great turning point of Western civilization that we call the Renaissance - the rebirth of literature, art, architecture, and philosophy in Europe from the fourteenth through the seventeenth century - marked the emergence of the modern world from the dark ages. This ingeniously organized, profusely illustrated book presents the entire epoch of the Renaissance through a spectacular collection of images, offering all the tools anyone needs to explore this age of reawakening, invention, and achievement. More than 1,000 illustrations - of paintings, sculpture, architecture, drawings, and engravings - are grouped to present more than a hundred pertinent topics. The topics themselves are divided among eight major themes covering every aspect of intellectual, political, religious, economic, social, technological, artistic, and architectural life in the Renaissance, all extensively cross-referenced.

"The focus of the book is a vast (6.5 meters x 3.5 meters) and recently revealed 17th century panorama of Constantinople that is an exceptional drawing of the city. The Panorama is an elaborate piece of anti-Ottoman propaganda designed by the Franciscan friar Niccolò Guidalotto da Mondavio. It was first found in the Chigi archive in Rome and is currently displayed in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Guidalotto also prepared a large manuscript, held in the Vatican Library, which details the Panorama's meaning and the motivation behind its creation. It depicts Istanbul as seen from across the Golden Horn in Galata, throwing new light on both the city and the relationships between the rival Venetian Republic and the Ottoman Empire. It also trumpets the unalloyed Christian zeal of Niccolò Guidalotto and serves as a fascinating example of visual crusade propaganda against the Ottomans in the 17th century. The current book examines the artistic features and the historical significance of this unique panorama. It reveals new information about its creator and contributes to the current scholarly discussion on crusade propaganda in art and literature from the 17th century. The Panorama is a source of cultural clash, a confrontation point between east and west, and it is a virtually unknown and unexplored sample of visual propaganda that was only recently discovered. The fact that the Panorama tells us that the Venetians were still calling for a Crusade at this late date is of prime historical importance in the study of European attitudes in the mid-seventeenth century. The Panorama's artistic features are a central focus of this book, which joins art history and history, viewing the Panorama as an interdisciplinary creation that incorporates a unique visual language worthy of the attention of art historians. The book joins word and image, i.e., it explains the meaning and significance of the complex visual imagery of the Panorama via the accompanying manuscript."--

During the Renaissance, the Italian city of Urbino rivaled Florence and Siena as a center of art, culture, and commerce. Chances are you've never heard of it—but you should have. Raphael was born there. Piero della Francesca painted his famous The Flagellation there. And the city's exquisite Ducal Palace, its twin towers piercing the sky, remains a striking monument to grace and power. Yet despite all its past glory and present charm, Urbino is practically unknown to tourists today. With Urbino: The Story of a Renaissance City, art historian June Osborne brings to life not only the great city and its art but also its turbulent history and the intrigue surrounding its ruling family. First settled by the ancient Umbrians, Urbino reached its zenith during the fifteenth century under the rule of Duke Federico da Montefeltro and his son Guidobaldo. Federico may have been a usurper and a fierce, opportunistic warlord, but his lust for power was more than matched by his passion for great art. Indeed it was under his direct guidance that the magnificent Ducal Palace was built—its perfectly proportioned courtyard a wonder of early Renaissance architecture. Today the Ducal Palace hosts the National Gallery of the Marches, one of the most important art galleries in Italy, featuring works by no lesser lights than Raphael, Uccello, Piero della Francesca, and Titian. Exploring such sites as the fourteenth-century Oratorio di San Giovanni Battista and the Gothic Church of San Domenico, Osborne captures not only the startling beauty of Urbino and the Apennine foothills but also the tumultuous legacy of Frederico and his son (and their many wives and courtiers). With over a hundred lavish color photographs, many by renowned landscape photographer Joe Cornish, Urbino is the best—and the only—guide to this gem of the Italian Marches.
