Art II: Renaissance & Baroque 1400–1800, with Rick Steves

Subscribe at http://goo.gl/l6qjuS for more new travel talks! Europe explodes with new ideas in religion (the Protestant Reformation), exploration (Columbus), and politics (the rise of nation-states). The happy result is some of the Western world’s greatest art treasures — from Michelangelo’s David to Botticelli’s Venus. It inspires the next generation of Baroque artists to build even grander wonders, like St. Peter’s Basilica and the Palace of Versailles. Download the PDF handout for this talk: https://goo.gl/Clu5tr
