In the nineteenth century, this flourishing of creativity and thought was celebrated as the birth of the modern world. Today, many historians are sceptical about its very existence. \u003ci\u003eEarthly Delights\u003c\/i\u003e rekindles the Renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, presenting a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists from both northern and southern Europe, including Leonardo, Bosch, Bruegel, and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it 'discovered' the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArt critic and writer Jonathan Jones tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers, and 'geniuses'—a Renaissance concept.

An unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in 1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to raise the new St Peter's Basilica towards heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Atlantic voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46832840638700,"sku":"9780500023136","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780500023136.jpg?v=1758413160"},{"product_id":"tracey-emin-by-jonathan-jones-9781786277084","title":"Tracey Emin","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis accessible and expertly written introduction and overview of Tracey Emin's life offers a completely up-to-date view on the work of one of the most important and respected artists working today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom some of her previously unpublished early works from the 1980s, through the period of the 'Young British Artists' when she first found international fame, and up to her very latest works—many also published here for the first time—\u003cem\u003eThe Guardian's\u003c\/em\u003e art critic Jonathan Jones brings together Tracey Emin's complete career into one concise and essential volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833795399916,"sku":"9781786277084","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27385673482823.jpg?v=1758481665"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jonathan-jones.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
