If someone you know is a fan of Renaissance art, a present of this book will go down a treat. The sumptuous paintings reproduced in its pages are worth the cover price alone, with masterpieces from Renaissance greats Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli and Hans Holbein in all their glory. However, it s the detailed historical context and the information provided about how to decipher the hidden messages encoded within the paintings that make it a fascinating read. A gem. --Michelle Stanistreet, Books Editor, Sunday Express
Gibson quotes Gide: The work of art is the exaggeration of an idea. A half-truth when he said it, but perhaps three-quarters true or more in the Renaissance. This copiously illustrated book makes the case that, far from doing away with the medieval mania for allegory, the Renaissance only redoubled it, thanks to the neo-platonic notion that the material was just a bodying forth of the ideal. It s in part a fact-packed reference companion: know your classical gods and goddesses, your saints and sacraments at a glance. Gibson s great contribution, though, is in the lucid way she anatomises a range of Renaissance masterpieces, teasing out the complex meanings that inform the ravishing beauty of these works. --The Scotsman, Books In Brief, January 12, 2008
This captivating book will open your eyes to the messages that the great Renaissance masters conveyed through symbols and visual codes.

"Nowhere is the great cultural 'rebirth' that sent shockwaves through Europe from its epicentre in Italy more evident than in the art of the Renaissance. Spurred on by wisdom-hungry Humanist scholars, from the late fourteenth century, previously closed Christian minds increasingly opened themselves up to the rich worlds of knowledge and artistry of the Classical and Islamic traditions".
