From Heaven to Arcadia: The Sacred and the Profane in the Renaissance- New York Review Books(Inglés)

From Heaven to Arcadia: The Sacred and the Profane in the Renaissance Ingrid D. Rowland - New York Review Books 2005. English

From the revelations of classical statuary pulled from the Roman soil as the popes began rebuilding the city in the fifteenth century, to the myth of serenity that Venice constructed to conceal its physical and political fragility, to bloody yet cultured Florence under the Medici, Ingrid D. Rowland traces the worldly, unworldly, and otherworldly strivings of artists, writers, popes, and politicians during that great "outburst of mental energy" we know as the Renaissance.
