Its very name conjures up awe-inspiring images of an age of lofty ideals in which life imitated the fantastic artworks for which it has become famous. But behind the vast explosion of new art and culture lurked a seamy, vicious world of power politics, perversity, and corruption that has more in common with the present day than anyone dares to admit. In this lively and meticulously researched portrait, Renaissance scholar Alexander Lee illuminates the dark and titillating contradictions that were hidden beneath the surface of the best-known artworks of the Renaissance. 650 0 $a Renaissance $z Italy. 651 0 $a Italy $x Social life and customs $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Degeneration $x History $z Italy $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Italy $x Civilization $y 1268-1559. 700 1 $a Morey, Arthur. 856 7 $3 View cover art $u http://midwesttapes.com/images/movies/000/000/000/011/013/000000000011013592.gif $2 http 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20141114011322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26E80F966BCC11E4A924FB80DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
