Medieval Masters and Geniuses of the Renaissance

In the book "Medieval Masters and Geniuses of the Renaissance," Paola Dmitrievna Volkova covers a vast historical period and tells us about the brightest centuries of art development – from trecento, the period of Proto-Renaissance, to seicento, the very end of the Renaissance. We will walk the path from the Sienese school of painting to the ascension of Baroque and Rococo, familiarize ourselves with such great works as "The Kiss of Judas" by Giotto, "Spring" by Sandro Botticelli, learn about Bosch and his "Ship of Fools" and about Velázquez's "Las Meninas."
