Renaissance Florence

A Social History

Herausgeber: Crum, Roger J.; Paoletti, John T.

Beschreibung

An examination of the social history of Florence during the critical period of its growth and development in the early modern period, from the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The volume provides a multi-dimensional view of Florence as it evolved into an economic powerhouse and dynamic center of artistic achievement, as well as the setting for political and religious struggles. It also demonstrates how permeable boundaries between the disciplines of history and art history have become.
