具体描述
The Renaissance burst forth in all its glory around 1500 and spread throughout Europe. This period of great creativity and productivity in the arts and sciences is illuminated in this book through the lives of more than ninety of its illustrious intellectuals, artists, literary figures, scientists, and rulers. Included are such major figures as Lorenzo and Catherine de’ Medici, Leonardo da Vinci, Charles V, Luther, Columbus, Copernicus, and St. Teresa of Ávila, as well as lesser-known characters such as Antonio Rinaldeschi, “gambler and blasphemer”; Louise Labé, “the jousting poetess”; Dick Tarlton, “the queen’s comedian”; Veronica Franco, “courtesan and wordsmith”; and Catena, “rustler, robber, and bandit chief.”
Each section in this volume marks a chronological stage in Europe’s rebirth, tying the period’s intellectual currents to its political and social concerns and setting the context for the individual biographies.

评分说到文艺复兴，你会想到什么？想到达·芬奇、米开朗琪罗、拉·斐尔，是这些人的艺术成就铸就了那个时代的辉煌；还会想到美第齐家族，那个庞大的家族体系所拥有的权力和财富是今人无法想象也无法企及的；或者你会想到哥白尼，那个为了自己的信念而舍身的英雄或许是那个时代里最...
评分 评分 评分五百年来，列奥纳多·达·芬奇身上被赋予了太多的光环与标签。他是和拉斐尔、米开朗基罗并称的“文艺复兴三杰”，他的《蒙娜丽莎》和《最后的晚餐》几乎家喻户晓，他也由此几乎成为迄今为止人类历史上最伟大的画家。他又是“文艺复兴人”和“博学家”的典型代表，他众所周知的...
