Introduction to the birthplace of Renaissance: Florence and its art.

In this exciting history, we will take you on an insightful tour of Renaissance Florence and shed light on its celebrated art and culture by examining the city’s great artistic achievements in its political, intellectual, and religious contexts. Learn how and why Florence became a crucial locus for developments in Italian art throughout the peninsula in the period between 1300 and 1600. Learn about artists’ social status, rivalries, and innovations; meet the greatest: the Medicis, Sandro Botticelli, Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Ghirlandaio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Ghiberti, Verrocchio, Michelangelo, and others.

Without the Florentine Renaissance, there wouldn’t be Western art history as we know it today; with this course, learn why!

There's so much to cover. I feel that it could have been a little bit longer , so it could be easier to absorb.

Very good overview with focused time on Florence without wandering all over Italy with the masters. I wish more was said about The Prisoners that accompany David in The Academia. You can see the evolution of the craft and emotion as we move towards David.
