Earthly Delights: A History of the Renaissance

Earthly Delights rekindles the concept of the renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London, and Nuremberg. This imaginative reframing of the Renaissance presents its history as that of connections across Europe, where artists from the north and south were products of the brilliantly fertile mix of classical inspiration, observation, and self-consciousness that set European culture alight from the fifteenth to the early seventeenth centuries. From Leonardo da Vinci to Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel to Titian, this stirring narrative sets the lives of artists against a period of great change across the continent.
