Si hay alguien que pueda ostentar el título de hombre renacentista, ese es Leonardo da Vinci. Célebre por sus obras de arte, también se le puede considerar el primer científico, ya que consiguío extraordinarios avances en optica, mecanica, astronomia, geologia, y anatomia...

A partir de las distintas facetas de la labor creativa e investigadora de Leonardo (1452-1519), quien recorrió terrenos tan diversos como el naturalismo, la ingeniería, el arte, la anatomía, la biologia o la medicina, Marcel Brion reconstruye la vida y la obra de este hombre, maximo exponente del Renacimiento.

Bernini A catalogue raisonné of the greatest sculptor of his age.4th editionRudolf Wittkower Updated, expanded edition of the classic 1955 monograph and catalogue raisonné of Italian master sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) A survey provides an introduction to all aspects of Bernini's sculpture, while the full catalogue gives detailed information on his complete oeuvre A wealth of photographs document his work in detail, from his religious-themed figures to his remarkable portraits and renowned Roman fountains Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) was the greatest and most influential sculptor of his age. Endlessly inventive and gifted with extraordinary skill, he virtually created the Baroque style. In his religious sculptures he excelled at capturing movement and extreme emotion, uniting figures with their setting to create a single conception of overwhelming intensity that perfectly expressed the fervour of Counter-Reformation Rome. Intensity and drama also characterize his remarkable portraits and his world-famous Roman fountains. Rudolf Wittkower's classic monograph and catalogue raisonne has been the standard established work on Bernini since 1955. It is now available in an updated and expanded edition. The concise but masterly survey provides an authoritative introduction to Bernini's work, while the full catalogue gives detailed, scholarly and up-to-date information on his complete oeuvre.

Rembrandt An introduction to the work of Rembrandt.Michael Kitson One of a series of introductory books on the great masters and movements in art This volume on Rembrandt contains an extensive essay, 48 full-page colour plates, and is accompanied by extensive notes and comparative illustrations Provides incomparable value Highly regarded for its insight and authority Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-69) transcends any period or social milieu: he is one of the worlds great masters and though his works reflect the confidence of newly independent Holland, his vision extends far beyond these narrow confines. A deeply perceptive artist (his many self-portraits show his continued interest in the study of human nature), he sought to go beyond superficialities, to endow his biblical paintings, historical narratives, genre scenes and portraits with psychological depths hitherto unknown in Dutch painting. Impatient with conventionally stiffly posed group portraits, he produced such masterpieces as The Night Watch, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Tulp and the Staal Meesters, while his studies of Saskia, his wife, and his mistress Hendrickje Stoffels reveal his deeply sensuous, compassionate nature. Michael Kitson has revised his highly successful book in the light of the most recent scholarship on Rembrandt, making this the ideal survey of the career of a much-loved genius.
