Overview
First, find a work of non-fiction that focuses on:
- the High or Late Renaissance period - Northern or Italian, or
- a specific artist such as...
- Leonardo,
- Michelangelo,
- Raphael,
- Titian,
- Bronzino,
- Hieronymus Bosch
- Albrecht Durer
- Hans Holbein
- or perhaps even a specialized topic: patronage, women of the High Renaissance, etc... as long as the subjects fall within the period of the High and Late Renaissance (1495-1600), and is about art - then it works! This book should be recently published - after the year 2000.
Then, construct your post:
- In your own words, describe the topic and main focus of the text. Embed the image of the book and where you might purchase it (Amazon sells almost everything, but I highly encourage you to look up the book from the actual publisher).
- This book should bring something new to the table. If it is a re-print of an older book, it doesn't count. If it is a biography of an artist, what is the new angle? All of these artists have been written about A LOT, so what's the newest take on these very famous people?
- Additionally, research the author(s). What are their credentials? What makes them an authority on this topic?
- Also, who is publishing this book? Does the publishing company appear to be reputable?
