Six masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, six pieces of a puzzle that allows us to catch a glimpse of an incredible period in the history of art and human creativity. In this book and its accompanying videos we read about these works and we let them talk in the language of art itself -- Italian. In 158 minutes of engaging video content we explore the art and the language of Sandro Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Raffaello, Caravaggio, Michelangelo and Paolo Veronese, progressively unveiling the intricacies of Italian grammar, vocabulary and etymology in the most memorable way. Complete with glossaries, exercises and an English translation of all content in Italian, this learning material is accessible from a late beginner level of language proficiency (A2). Each chapter of the book ends with a short biography of the artist, references & credits for all images and suggestions on how to enjoy these masterpieces in person.
