Descripci�n

Fine condition maroon boards, black spine, gold front cover decoration and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Foreword; Index; Special Features and Index. Also includes a fine condition vintage 1970 National Geographic Traveler's Map of Italy. Profusely illustrated with color photographs with some consecutive double foldout full color paintings. The dust jacket has been protected within a clear dust jacket cover with the jacket protector permanently affixed to the inner front and rear boards. "As philosopher Marsilio Ficino, tutor to Lorenzo de Medici, hailed the golden 15th century, another Florentine christened it, exulting, "I seem to be reborn - mi pare rinascere." From this rebirth of classical art and human genius came the name for an era of bold venture and sublime creation: the Renaissance. And now in these 402 color-filled pages the Renaissance springs to life. We meet Leonard da Vinci, Michelangelo, Cervantes, Shakespeare. We see them as their own age saw them, not as immortals but as me, Renaissance men. The Duke of Urbino steps from his portrait. We learn that a tournament wound has notched his nose and that he turns his left side to the paintr to hide a frightful scar on his right. Battles are his business; he is a condottiere, a paid "conductor" of other rulers' wars. Yet he gathers one of the finest libraries Europe has seen in a thousand years. And his heir Guidobaldo welcomes to the palace the young son of the court painter. The lad's name is Raffaello Santi; he will illumine the Renaissance as Raphael. Here, in 423 superb illustrations in full Geographic color, you enter that pivotal age when men resurrected antiquity and blueprinted modernity. Ten maps guide your steps into the fascinating worlds of pope and merchant, courtier and king. More than 100,000 words of fact-filled text re-create those worlds - where a teenager might become a cardinal .where wary despots bought Venetian glblets in the vain belief that they shattered at a drop of poison.where a host could go bankrupt entertaining a royal guest who arrived with hundreds of retainers. The great gallery of the Renaissance dazzles your eyes: masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Titian, El Greco - names that stand as milestones in the history of art. and, in a breathtaking foldout photographed specially for this vlume, you behold the Sistine Chapel ceiling that Michelangelo created - the arts of painter, sculptor, architect, and poet fused in the genius of one Renaissance man." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
