Item Number: 119610 Title: An Art Lover's Guide to Florence Author: Testa, Judith Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780875806808 Description: Dekalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 2012. 23cm., pbk., 269pp. illus. Summary: While most guidebooks offer only brief descriptions of a large number of works, with little discussion of the historical background, Judith Testa gives a fresh perspective on the rich and brilliant art of the Florentine Renaissance in An Art Lover’s Guide to Florence. Concentrating on a number of the greatest works, by such masters as Botticelli and Michelangelo, Testa explains each piece in terms of what it meant to the people who produced it and for whom they it made, deftly treating the complex interplay of politics, sex, and religion that were involved in the creation of those works.
