Now available in paperback, this beautifully illustrated book is the first to look comprehensively at the role of the urban Italian house in the development of Renaissance art and culture. At Home in Renaissance Italy brings together a wide range of objects, from furniture and kitchen utensils to popular prints, jewellery and everyday dress, revealing how the homes of the upper- and middle-classes made a crucial contribution to the flowering of the visual arts in fifteenth and sixteenth-century Italy. Drawing on a wide array of sources including letters, treatises, inventories, accountbooks and archaeological and conservation reports, it offers a completely fresh exploration of the fascinating domestic world of Renaissance Italy. 'A handsome publication.if you ever want a coffee table book, this is it.' Andrew Lambirth, The Spectator 'This is essential reading for scholars and students of Renaissance Italy.' The Art Newspaper 'A major achievement.' The Art Book No library descriptions found. |
