Divino Renaissance

The book is devoted to the study of the works of the great Renaissance painters Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Santi, Michelangelo Buonarroti. The Renaissance is called the time of great cultural changes of the XV-XVI centuries, which began in Italy and in time embraced almost all of Europe. During the Renaissance, human values changed significantly. The crisis of humanist Renaissance culture that began in the second quarter of the 16th century was not slow to produce a dramatic change in the very image of Man in art. Renaissance art, moving away from the spiritual traditions of the Middle Ages, glorified the living person and the real world around him. In this era, ancient methods in architecture, construction, sculpture, and other arts and crafts were rethought. The book also provides brief information about the periods in the history of Italian Renaissance culture - ducento (13th century, Proto-Renaissance), trecento (14th century, continuation of the Proto-Renaissance), quattrocento (15th century, Early Renaissance), and cinquecento (16th century, High Renaissance). The book is intended for a wide class of specialists in the field of fine art, painting, as well as fans of Renaissance art.
