Renaissance. Mystics and humanists. Volkova P. D.

No culture, not a single cultural stage has such a direct relationship to the present as the Renaissance. Renaissance is the most progressive and revolutionary period in the history of mankind. This is told by Paola Dmitrievna Volkova in the next book of the cycle “Bridge over the Abyss”, accepting the baton with the first art critic, Georjo Vasari, a real person of his era - a writer, a painter and an architect.

Renaissance artists - Sandro Boticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael and Titian, Jerome Bosch and Peter Bruegel the Elder - were never just artists. They were philosophers, they were charged with the main and main problems of time. Renaissance painters returning to the ideals of antiquity, created an integral, inner unity of the concept of the world, filled traditional religious plots with earthly content.
