Requests:  0 Summary:  Renowned as a period of cultural rebirth and artistic innovation, the Renaissance is cloaked in a unique aura of beauty and brilliance. 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 945.05 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.05 Lee Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 945.05 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.05 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.05 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
