The Renaissance Bazaar. From the Silk Road to Michelangelo. - BROTTON, JERRY
from the Silk Road to Michelangelo
KORTE INHOUD
The Renaissance was a decisive moment in world history. It was a time when East and West encountered each other as cultural and political equals. In this exploration, Jerry Brotton argues that between 1400 and 1600 Europe defined itself by trading and competing with its Islamic, African, and Asian neighbours.
The Renaissance Bazaar tells the story of this intense exchange of ideas, objects, and skills that shaped the European Renaissance. It also shows how technological and commercial developments such as printing, banking, and mapmaking were inextricably connected to the great art, literature, science, and discoveries that have come to typify the Renaissance.
