Architecture of the Renaissance: From Brunelleschi to Palladio

Description

In early 15th-century Florence an idea took root that was to change art and society for ever: the revival of classical Rome, its values, its culture and its architecture. Abruptly rejecting the Gothic style of the Middle Ages, European architects eagerly adopted a new set of principles to create some of the most wonderful buildings of all time.

Bertrand Jestaz is a French art historian. He specializes in French and Italian Renaissance and classical art.
