The Renaissance Studies In Art And Poetry

The Renaissance Studies in Art and Poetry by Walter Horatio Pater is a collection of essays that explores the artistic and cultural movements of the Renaissance period. Pater, a prominent Victorian-era critic and essayist, delves into the works of artists and poets such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and William Shakespeare, analyzing their techniques and themes. He also examines the cultural and historical context of the Renaissance, discussing the social and political factors that contributed to the flourishing of art and literature during this time. Pater's writing is known for its poetic and imaginative style, and this book is considered a classic work in the field of art criticism and Renaissance studies.The history of the Renaissance ends in France, and carries us away from Italy to the beautiful cities of the country of the Loire. But it was in France also, in a very important sense, that the Renaissance had begun; and French writers, who are so fond of connecting the creations of Italian genius with a French origin, who tell us how Francis of Assisi took not his name only.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
