The work of Doctor of Art History M.N. Sokolov is dedicated to the Renaissance-Baroque era (XIV-XVII centuries). Covering in a special, dialogical (in the spirit of the theory of M.M. Bakhtin) interpretation of different spheres of European culture, as well as different world eras (Antiquity, Middle Ages, New Time) - which coexist inside the Renaissance work - the book reveals the colorful virtual world of this great historical milestone. It is a new version of the Mystery of the Neighborhood (the same publishing house), close to the genre of a manual for higher education.
