POLITICAL RADICALISM IN THE RENNAISANCE

So you think the 20th or 21st Century was the first to distort reality? Look again! These High Rennaisance masters used their talents to communicate anti-royalist, populist, egalitarian, libertarian ideas to those who could SEE! Artists can be a very radical lot especially when they think few people are watching. Fabulous book that comes with an insert so you can "roll your own" illusions!
