The art of poverty
Irony and ideal in sixteenth-century beggar imagery
Tom Nichols
The art of poverty is the first book in English to analyse depictions of beggars in sixteenth-century European art.
It develops a striking thesis, arguing that such images largely conformed to two paradoxical, though complimentary,
traditions: the one ironising, the other idealising.
Stunning illustrated throughout, including 94 b&w and 10 colour illustrations and 1 line drawing
Of special interest to scholars and students of Renaissance art history, and also to all those with an interest in
the cultural development of Early Modern Europe.
