A thrilling journey across the times and places that were fundamental to art history, from the wonders of the ancient world to Enlightenment.
A journey packed with increasingly new images, that follows human evolution, from the primitive already capable of wonder and spirituality to the philosopher in search of a universal order, to the master of their own world with the advent of humanism and the Renaissance. The aim of this book is not to cover all the landmarks of art history, but to attempt to explore the complexity of elements and starting points that make up the art experience in every place and era, through a pattern of considerations and cross references that show how our evolution is inextricably linked to our longing for beauty.
“Beautiful writing, a philosophical outlook and familiarity with the subject (…) A compendium of analysis and thoughts that should be adopted in schools.”
Il Messaggero
“A heartfelt exploration of the essential places and times of the history of art.”
