The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy by Jacob Burckhardt
"The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy" by Jacob Burckhardt is a historical work published in 1860. This groundbreaking study examines the Italian Renaissance by capturing the spirit of the age across its main manifestations—politics, manners, religion, art, and social life. Burckhardt explores how the Renaissance shaped the state, developed the individual, revived antiquity, and transformed society. His scholarly judgements have been largely validated by subsequent research, establishing this work as a
classic of Renaissance historiography. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
