A History of the Renaissance with Jonathan Jones | Authors in Conversation

Esteemed art critic and author Jonathan Jones sits down with Joe Hage to discuss his 2023 publication, Earthly Delights: A History of the Renaissance.
Offering a fresh take on the history of Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries, Jones uses well-known icons of Renaissance art such as Michelangelo’s David alongside surprising works from the period, such as Martin Schongauer’s print, The Temptations of St. Anthony to delve into an entertaining social history of the time. Why was there suddenly so much nudity in art? What made Renaissance artists so special? And how did the theory of perspective change the way art held a mirror up to the world?
