Marie-Louise Lillywhite

Reforming Art in Renaissance Venice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book considers the impact of religious reform on the devotional art and architecture of sixteenth-century Venice. Interrogating early modern censorship, artistic liberty, notions of decorum tied to depictions of the body, and the role of sacred images in the shaping of local identity, it showcases a study through which to explore these themes.
