[The Sixteenth Century] "There are moments when the heart of history beats stronger and faster." (Stefano Zuffi) This was the case in the sixteenth century, the century that saw the face of the West completely change as a result of the discovery of the New World and the flowering of the Renaissance, the foundation of "modern" society. Through the themes, artistic techniques, centres of production and the biographies of 60 protagonists, the book presents all the facets of sixteenth-century art and reveals some of the most extraordinary masterpieces of all time. The reader will find here all the great masters of Renaissance painting from Raphael to Michelangelo, from Titian to Correggio, from Dürer to El Greco and Bruegel.
