Renaissance Florence—City of Man: At the beginning of the fourteenth-century, a revolution broke out in a small city in Italy--a revolution that continues to touch us today. That revolution is the Renaissance. Briefly discussing the medieval art that came before, this lecture will present those key artworks, artists and theorists from Florence that radically changed how men viewed themselves and the universe.  Key to this lecture is the visual connoisseurship that each attendee will gain. Working with his own photography of key art-historical monuments, Professor Sandstead will unveil those seeming trivial details that were, in fact, revolutionary.
