The Sacred Home in Renaissance Italy. - BRUNDIN, A. H.,

KORTE INHOUD

The amount of material in the book is astonishing ... Brundin, Howard and Laven consciously seek to compensate for long-standing blind spots in Italian Renaissance scholarship. They investigate rural as well as urban areas, indigents as well as elites, local artists from foreign backgrounds, men as well as women (especially important in a book about domestic life) ... The grat power of material objects lies in their capacity to encompass multiple uses and meanings, to cross boundaries, to embrace contradictions. The book shines most when it draws these out.
