Petrarch in His Study |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Fourteenth-century Italian writer and humanist Petrarch is regarded as the first modern poet. He perfected the sonnet form and influenced many great poets, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare. This image of Petrarch in his study is from a 15th-century manuscript (Codex 905) in the Trivulziana Library in Milan, Italy. | ||||||
