The
Renaissance in Le Marche has it's own characteristics, very similar
to Tuscany en Umbria, the neighbouring regions we are more familiar
with.
During the excursions
we visit Le Marche's most important Renaissance cities: Urbino and
Camerino.
The Renaissance
Court of Urbino was frequented by scholars, artists and architects
who made Urbino grow out to an important centre for architecture,
painting, sculpture and 15th Century humanism, comparable with the
Medici Court at Florence at that time. There we visit the Palazzo
Ducale with it's large collection of Renaissance Art, and the native
home of the famous painter Raphael.
The
task of the artist from Camerino was the invention of light and
perspective in painting. They could count on the many commissions
of the duchy Da Varano of Camerino. We visit the Municipal Museum
with 15th Century painting and sculpture and make a guided walk
through this beautiful small town.
