The Renaissance holds an undying place in our imagination, its great heroes still our own, from Michelangelo and Leonardo to Dante and Chaucer. This period of profound evolution in European thought is credited with transforming the West from medieval to modern and producing the most astonishing outpouring of artistic creation the world has ever known. But what was it? In this masterly work, the incomparable Paul Johnson tells us. He explains the economic, technological, and social developments that provide a backdrop to the age's achievements and focuses closely on the lives and works of its most important figures. A commanding short narrative of this vital period, The Renaissance is also a universally profound meditation on the wellsprings of innovation.

The Renaissance
Reall enjoyed this brief, but detailed and informative, history of Renaissance. The book is clearly categorized into the history of literature, sculptures, architecture, art and concludes with the transmission of Renaissance through Europe and its decline in Italy. One thing I noticed a bit (maybe too often) was how much of his own personal opinion the author mixed with the facts. Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci seemed to sometimes be quite criticized for what the author thought of them as people, and less on their work - their art - while other artists were highlighted because the author seemed to appreciate them more as people. But then again, I didn't expect this work to be 100% objective, and so far as one can recognize opinions as such and not clear facts, I don't have too many problems with it. Even though Michelangelo and Leonardo are (one of) my favourite artists from the era. 3.5
