Plaisance: Aristocratic Landscapes of the Late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance
Through an in-depth interpretation of sites, images, and texts, William Tronzo, visiting professor of visual arts at the University of California, San Diego, explores some of the most important creations of the landscape arts of the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The natural environment, particularly the designed landscape or garden, assumed a new importance in this period in the functions of court life and in the activities, attitudes, and aesthetic predispositions of courtiers.
