Series : Visual Culture in Early Modernity
Emphasizing on the one hand the reconstruction of the material
culture of specific residences, and on the other, the way in which
particular domestic objects reflect, shape, and mediate family values
and relationships within the home, this volume offers a distinct
contribution to research on the early modern Italian domestic interior.
Though the essays mainly take an art historical approach, the book
is interdisciplinary in that it considers the social implications of
domestic objects for family members of different genders, age, and rank,
as well as for visitors to the home. By adopting a broad chronological
framework that encompasses both Renaissance and Baroque Italy, and by
expanding the regional scope beyond Florence and Venice to include
domestic interiors from less studied centers such as Urbino, Ferrara,
and Bologna, this collection offers genuinely new perspectives on the
home in early modern Italy.
