Patronage, Art, and Society in Renaissance Italy (OUP/Humanities Research Centre of the Australian National University Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Patronage, in its broadest sense, has been established as one of the dominant social processes of pre-industrial Europe. While it has been traditionally viewed simply as the context for extraordinary artistic creativity, patronage has more recently been examined by historians and art
historians alike as a comprehensive system of patron-client structures which permeated society and social relations. Focusing specifically on the city of Florence, these essays explore the new understanding of Renaissance Italy as a 'patronage society,' considering its implications for the study of
art patronage and patron-client structures wherever they occur.
