| Summary/Abstract |
The Renaissance was a time of cultural rebirth. The advances and discoveries made during this period led art to a new realism in depicting objects and people, use of perspective, and fresh ways of achieving depth and form. The Renaissance style of the 14th through 17th centuries was so influential that it dominated the visual arts until the late 19th century. The Encyclopedia of Art for Young People is an eight-volume set, arranged chronologically, that celebrates the rich history of art in an appealing and accessible format. Using full-colour reproductions of well-known masterpieces and providing in-depth coverage of the life and times of pivotal artists, this colourful new work is a solid introductory reference.
