This book is a must have!,

This review is from: Art, Marriage, and Family in the Florentine Renaissance Palace (Hardcover)
When art historians talk about context in works of art they often give mere lip service and then go about discussing objects in the same old way. This book renders a fresh look at some familiar objects, placing context front and center in the discussion. Indeed, for many reasons this is a book that is long overdue, both for its subject matter and its content. Although scrupulously researched, this work has none of the stuffiness associated with scholarly books. It provides an immediately accessible and vibrantly written text alongside gloriously illustrated images that fully illuminate the expressed ideas. Some of the objects are familiar to anyone knowledgeable in Italian Renaissance art, others are much more obscure, and for that reason, intriguing. Combining these works in artful context is one of the glories of this book. For anyone interested in daily life in the Italian Renaissance, this book is a must have.
