Urbino: The Ideal Renaissance Court
1h 4m
Duke Federico da Montefeltro transformed the town of Urbino in the Marches into an ideal Renaissance court. Not only did he commission works by artists of the caliber of Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Francesco di Giorgio and Leon Battista Alberti, the duke also assembled one of Europe’s top classical libraries. No wonder that Baldassare Castiglione would later choose Urbino as the setting of his book on the ideal courtier. This exclusive webinar will explore the extraordinary art and architecture of this idyllic ducal town.
