Florentine Patricians and Their Networks
In Florentine Patricians and Their Networks, Elisa Goudriaan presents the first comprehensive overview of the cultural world and diplomatic strategies of Florentine patricians in the seventeenth century and the ways in which they contributed as a group to the court culture of the Medici. The author focuses on the patricians’ musical, theatrical, literary, and artistic pursuits, and uses these to show how politics, social life, and cultural activities tended to merge in early modern society. Quotations from many archival sources, mainly correspondence, make this book a lively reading experience and offer a new perspective on seventeenth-century Florentine society by revealing the mechanisms behind elite patronage networks, cultural input, recruiting processes, and brokerage activities.
Italy for Sale
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Italian Renaissance art, objects, and even the idea of Italy itself figured heavily both in the dynamic international art market and in the eyes of the general public. The alternative objects that were actively dispersed and collected -- authentic works, pastiches, Renaissance-inspired counterfeits, and reproductions -- in the diverse media of paint, plaster, terracotta, and photography, had a tremendous impact on visual culture across social strata. These essays examine less studied aspects of this market through the lens of just a few of the countless successful sales of objects out of Italy.
Practice and Theory in the Italian Renaissance Workshop
Verrocchio worked in an extraordinarily wide array of media and used unusual practices of making to express ideas.

Visual Cultures of Foundling Care in Renaissance Italy
The social problem of infant abandonment captured the public?s imagination in Italy during the fifteenth century, a critical period of innovation and development in charitable discourses. As charity toward foundlings became a political priority, the patrons and supporters of foundling hospitals turned to visual culture to help them make their charitable work understandable to a wide audience. Focusing on four institutions in central Italy that possess significant surviving visual and archival material, Visual Cultures of Foundling Care in Renaissance Italy examines the discursive processes through which foundling care was identified, conceptualized, and promoted. The first book to consider t...
Giorgio Vasari and the Birth of the Museum
Giorgio Vasari and the Birth of the Museum offers the first dedicated and comprehensive study of Vasari?s original contributions to the making of museums, addressing the subject from the full range of aspects - collecting, installation, conceptual-historical - in which his influence is strongly felt. Uniting specialists of Giorgio Vasari with scholars of historical museology, this collection of essays presents a cross-disciplinary overview of Vasari?s approaches to the collecting and display of art, artifacts and memorabilia. Although the main focus of the book is on the mid-late 16th century, contributors also bring to light that Vasari?s museology enjoyed a substantial afterlife well into the modern museum era. This volume is a fundamental addition to the museum studies literature and a welcome enhancement to the scholarly industry on Giorgio Vasari.

Herrscherbesuche
Herrscherbesuche sind für die gastgebenden Eliten im vormodernen Italien ehrenvolle Ereignisse, die mittels Wandmalereien dauerhaft an den Wänden der besuchten Häuser inszeniert werden. Im Zeitraum von 1300 bis 1750 lassen sich in der Toskana, dem Aostatal, der Lombardei und in Venetien Wandmalereien beobachten, die das Motiv des Herrscherbesuches vielgestaltig thematisieren. Von spätmittelalterlichen Throndarstellungen über komplexe heraldische Anordnungen bis hin zu frühneuzeitlichen Historienbildern inszenieren die Malereien den empfangenen Herrscher, aber auch und insbesondere die elitären Gastgeber. Oszillierend zwischen historischer Realität und visueller Fiktion lassen sich fÃ...
