In the vein of a scholarly discussion, Alison Cole portrays a different side of the Renaissance. Looking at the intersection of history and art, this book focuses on the smaller courts of Manua, Ferrara, Naples, and Urbino that produced a large amount of great art, even though we don't hear about them as much. Focusing on the perspective of the patrons who wished to show off their magnificence and virtue, this is a unique look at some overlooked art. 192 pages, softcover.
