About This Item
1562 Italian Renaissance Courtier Book Baldassare Castiglione Courtesan Venice
"Outward beauty is a true sign of inner goodness. Just as with trees the beauty of the blossom testifies the goodness of the fruit." – Baldassare Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier
A rare printing of Baldassare Castiglione's 'Book of the Courtier.' This work was an important portrayal of a European Renaissance court life and discussed elements of philosophy and customs closely associated with courtier life. Baldassare created a series of fictional conversations that resemble those encountered in a royal court. These conversations discuss humanities, fine arts, drama, classical art, mythology, women, humor, and love. This book was known to have a significant influence on upper class society in the centuries following its release.
