All these facets of Florence come to sparkling life in Michael Levey's portrait, which delves into the mystery of what is familiarly "known" to bring vibrantly to life the fascinating people of this celebrated city & brilliantly chronicles its history, its politics & its culture. From the turmoil of the Middle Age, the incessant clashes of factions & feuds, Florence only slowly emerged as the civilized republic of Renaissance lore. Levey captures the drama & confusion of the time leading to Florence's ascendancy as one of the world's great cities. In Dante, exiled from Florence in 1321, Levey finds an inspired guide to the 13th-century city, its people culture & constitution, & a wrathful commentator on its political life. 'Florence' brilliantly evokes this momentous period, epitomized by the construction of the Palazzo of the Priors & the Palazzo Vecchio, & bloody power struggles between the Guelfs & Ghibellines, the Holy Roman Empire & the papacy. Levey shows us Florence emerging as a commercial power in which the crafts & guilds made way for the blossoming of a great Renaissance city. He leads us from the medievalism of 'The Divine Comedy' to the robust world of the 'Decameron', through plague & flood & fire & civic turmoil, to art triumphant in the buildings of Brunelleschi & the sculpture of Donatello. His book shows us Florence not just in its ascendancy & at its height, but also in its less familiar years & guises, from the 16th century through the 19th, as limited democracy gave way to oligarchy, then autocracy, & the last strokes of decay & decoration created the city we know & love today. Intimate & grand, learned & engaging, this brilliant portrait gives us Florence in all its madness & magnificence, from the glory of the great Duomo to the finest details of a cameo or a poem. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: MICHAEL LEVEY was Director of the National Gallery, London, from 1973 to 1986. His many books include 'Early Renaissance', 'The World of Ottoman Art' & 'Giambattista Tiepolo'. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & securely custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & to all INTERNATIONAL destinations at our posted rates via USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL.
