A glorious age of art and discovery was also a time of bloodshed and horror
Oxford University Press; 384 pages; $29.95. Bodley Head; £20.people, the phrase “High Renaissance” conjures up thoughts of Raphael putting the final touches to the blush of a pensive Madonna; of Michelangelo chipping gingerly at the flawed marble from which he would create his peerless David; of Leonardo da Vinci sketching his latest visionary design for a flying machine. Few reflect, or perhaps even know, that this golden age of creativity was also one of near-continuous warfare in Italy.
Nor was warfare the only source of turbulence. It was in this period that Europeans, including many Italians, began to explore the Americas, and in which they came into mounting conflict with the growing power of the Ottomans in and around the Mediterranean. It was also during these years that the papacy in Rome saw Western Christianity rent in two by the Protestant Reformation.
