Produktbeschreibung
Explores the links between patronage, identity and Franco-Scottish relations in the late medieval and early modern periods The first substantial analysis of the visual arts commissioned by Scots in France prior to Mary Queen of Scots, this book examines how Scottish identity was represented and promoted through patronage of the visual arts. It ties together previously unpublished archival documents with under-researched visual and material culture, examining how Scots used patronage to establish their place in French society - thus both furthering the reputation of the royal house of Scotland and progressing their own social, political and diplomatic aims. The author incorporates analysis of grand architectural projects - such as the foundation of the Sainte-Chapelle at Vic-le-Comte - and studies of extraordinary manuscripts - such as the Monypenny Breviary and the military manuals of Bérault Stuart - highlighting recurring themes within architectural history, art history and material culture studies. By addressing broader questions of Scotland's historic relations with Europe, Visual Arts and the Auld Alliance makes a necessary contribution to modern-day concerns and to our understanding of Scotland's place therein. Bryony Coombs is Renaissance Teaching Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. Her research has received the Murray Medal for History (SAS) and the Jack Medal (IASSL).
