MINT Condition – Still in the Publisher’s Shrinkwrap

This is a beautiful oversized leather bound edition of “Renaissance Painting: The Golden Age of European Art” edited by Francesca Castria and published by the Easton Press. From the publisher, “This magnificent volume evokes the art of the European Renaissance as it came into flower during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Radiating from the cities of Florence and Rome, then spreading across Italy and most of the rest of Europe, this era is best known today through the works of such masters as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael Sanzio. Paintings by these and many more artists are faithfully reproduced in this magnificent volume. More than 90 Italian, Flemish, German, French, and Spanish artists are represented in a spectacular collection of some 500 full-color reproductions. Works by other Renaissance masters include Botticelli, Titian, Correggio, Bronzino, Bruegel, Bosch, Durer, and Holbein, among many others. This beautiful volume's large and faithful full-color reproductions present a dramatic and absorbing overview of what many historians call the single most important epoch in the history of the visual arts.”
