A digestible introduction to the background and history of the Renaissance is followed by a gallery of treasured works focusing on the most popular Italian art, from Giotto's frescoes and Fra Angelico's delightful Annunciation, to Botticelli's willowy Venuses, that ceiling of Michelangelo's and the master of Venetian painting, Titian.

The archetypal artist of the High Renaissance, Raphael is regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time. This beautifully illustrated new book discusses his life as well as the themes, styles and techniques of his art, along with examples of his most famous works, including Sistine Madonna, The Triumph of Galatea and Transfiguration.
