Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
An extraordinary explosion of creativity spanning two centuries, the Renaissance shaped the history of modern Europe. In a scintillating panorama of the art and architecture of this period, Gordon Campbell examines the leading people of the time - from Bellini, Bruegel, and Botticelli to Grünewald, Raphael, and Titian - as well as their creations - from the Sistine Chapel and Brunelleschi's dome to the Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's David.
Containing more than 1,300 informative entries, Renaissance Art & Architecture also offers an excellent overview of the subject in its introductory essay; a useful chronology that parallels the period's historical events with its most significant artistic creations; and fascinating explanatory captions for featured pictures.
Revealing, accessible, rich in detail, and bustling with life, this book offers a dazzling introduction and an intriguing insight into one of the most spectacular periods in art history.
Long description:
The Renaissance, French for 'rebirth', was undoubtedly the most intensely creative period in history. This explosion of activity is reflected perhaps more than elsewhere in the art and architecture of the period. The legacy the artists, sculptors, tradesmen, architects, garden designers, engravers, and printers left behind can still be seen all over Europe today, not only in the things produced at the time but also in modern art, architecture, culture, and ways of thinking.
Illustrated throughout, Renaissance Art and Architecture provides the reader with an informative overview of this fascinating period and comprehensive, alphabetically arranged entries on individual artists, architects and theorists, Schools, styles, techniques, and terms. Intruiging captions explain all featured pictures, giving the history and myth behind paintings, buildings, sculptures, and more.
With the assurance of sound knowledge (Gordon Campbell is the epitome of the Renaissance man) this book can be used either as a source of reliable information on the art and architecture of the period or as something to browse through at leisure.
Spanning the years 1415 to 1618 the A-Z text covers drawing, design, painting, sculpture, garden design, and architecture across the whole of Europe. Containing a major overview of the period as well as A-Z entries Renaissance Art and Architecture will be valuable to a variety of people, from art lovers and all those fascinated with European history and culture to a wide range of students and teachers.
