註釋

In this parody of the immensely popular news program Nightline, Ted Koppel questions four renowned artists of the Renaissance as to whether artists have a responsibility to the public when depicting violence. Is the artist accountable for the reactions of viewers? Exactly what is violence, if not gratuitous, and who decides the issue? Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Fra Angelico and Heironymous Bosch become involved in a lively debate on these topics and more, revealing not only the story behind some of the world's most beautiful and/or diabolical art (and the personalities that created it), but also the unfortunate universality of violence across time and cultures. The book is a must read for art historians, anyone who loves art, and anyone who wishes to understand the nature of the world in which we live.
