Section
Renaissance

The Renaissance is important to me as a period where economics, philosophy, architecture, political thought, and cultural life were closely connected. I want this section to treat the Renaissance as an intellectual world rather than only an art-historical label.

Planned Themes

  • Renaissance commerce, finance, and urban life
  • philosophy and humanism
  • architecture, proportion, and civic order
  • political thought and the moral imagination of the period
