Investigating the gender and material culture, this book provides a fresh dimension to Renaissance patronage studies by considering domestic art as opposed to patronage of the fine arts (painting, sculpture and architecture). It looks at women as collectors of precious material goods, organizers of the modern home, and decorators of its interior.
Contents: Introduction; The women: the cast of characters; The Renaissance palazzo as a public voice for women; The Renaissance palazzo interior as a private voice for women; Domestic consumption: listening to women's private voice; Women, the church, and religious foundations; Glossary; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
