Description

The Makers Of Florence Mrs Oliphant

Dante, Giotto, Savonarola and Their City by Mrs Oliphant. This history of Florence approaches the subject from the prominent people involved in the early development of this famous and beautiful Italian city. The sub-title "Dante, Giotto, Savonarola and Their City" under the Sections, The Poet, The Cathedral Builders and The Monks Of San Marco, is indicative of this intent, but others, such as Michel Angelo, feature prominently as does the city's art, architecture, sculptures and scenery. The book concludes with the death of Michel Angelo in 1564 having covered the progress of Florence from the time of Dante (1265-1321), thereby including its time of great classical advances.
