Rothfield lawrence (120 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. It was one of the most concentrated surges of creativity in the history of civilization. Between 1390 and 1537, Florence poured forth an astonishing stream of magnificent artworks. But Florentines did more during this brief period than create masterpieces.
