Italy: In the Footsteps of the Masters

Italy has been the destination of artists, writers, and architects seeking the lessons of antiquity and the Renaissance since the Grand Tour made such journeys a rite of passage for the European educated class. Italy: In the Footsteps of the Masters traces those journeys — photographing the landscapes, cities, and buildings that shaped the development of Western art and architecture — and pairs each location with the works it inspired, placing Raphael in Urbino, Caravaggio in Rome, Titian in Venice, and the great architects in the buildings they created.

A visual journey through the country that made Western art — combining travel photography of exceptional quality with art historical depth. Published by Thames & Hudson.
