Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Reviews in Part I the rebirth of classical themes and humanistic ideas that marked the Renaissance in Italy. Examines works of the painters Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Ghiberti, and Botticelli, who brought rationalism and realistic perspective to their art and glory to Florence. Explains in Part II how the new medium of oil paint made vivid color possible and that, in combination with the use of minute detail, clearly distinguished the work of the Flemish from that of the Florentines. Examines Van Eyck's The Marriage of Arnolfini and Grunewald's Isenheim Altarpiece. Closed Captioned.
